On Day 7 of the 2016 Campaign, we went on Twitter for a chat with Bishakha Datta, the founder of PoV Mumbai, on gender, sexuality, technology and violence.
.@busydot So straight in - First question is, where do gender, sexuality, technology and violence intersect? #sextalk #Prajnya16d16— Prajnya Initiatives (@prajnya) December 1, 2016
Here goes @prajnya! Since we live our lives on and offline now, we use tech to explore our sexuality, express it, have sex, surf porn etc >— Bishakha Datta (@busydot) December 1, 2016
We discussed why working class men watching porn disturbs people so much.and that's how we want to keep it @prajnya but online violence is a big threat to doing so. Stalking. Verbal abuse. Morphing images >— Bishakha Datta (@busydot) December 1, 2016
Just shifting the subject a little, .@busydot much of the #MoralPanic around porn is also a class issue. (1/2) #sextalk #Prajnya16d16— Prajnya Initiatives (@prajnya) December 1, 2016
Rich/middle class have problems with porn consumption of working class men, "who go out and rape our women." Your thoughts? (2/2) #sextalk— Prajnya Initiatives (@prajnya) December 1, 2016
Uff @prajnya. Partly b/c sex between different classes a taboo in the wealthy mind and porn breaks down class barriers >— Bishakha Datta (@busydot) December 1, 2016
Interesting that fantasies of sex b/w different classes permissible but not reality @prajnya. >— Bishakha Datta (@busydot) December 1, 2016
We talked about sex, porn, consent, technology, surveillance, and the whole chat has been storified here.
