pornography

Taranet: /* External links */

'''Pornography''' is the depiction of the [[sex]]ual nature intended to arouse the person. [[law|Legal]] and personal definitions of pornography differ. Some include [[erotica]] in the definition of pornography, while some include pornography in the definition of erotica. Others consider them to be a distinct, although sometimes overlapping, entity.

==Anarchist views of pornography==
Anarchists hold diverse views of the role of pornography in society. Although almost all anarchists are against commercial pornography, many anarchists have no objections to free and amateur pornography.

===Negative views===
In the contemporary society pornography has become an [[industry]] that exploits its workers, [[cultural domination|culturally dominates]] communities, and perverts views of [[sexuality]] and [[sexual identity]]. As such some anarchists oppose and work to abolish this industry. Although anti-pornography legislation is often viewed as the form of [[censorship]], some anarchists chose to argue that pornographic depictions often [[consumerism|consumerise]] sexuality and objectify people involved. Counterargument to that would be that the described is the characteristic of the current culture and not of pornography as the whole.

===Positive views===
Political and religious authorities adopt sexual repression as a mean to suppress and control people, to the extent that the mere human bodies or some of their expressions are declared illegal or sinful. Depictions of partial or full [[nudity]], from fully consensual people, may aid in countering that form of repression. In such context the expression or "threat" of nudity may become a form of [[protest]] or [[direct action]].

'''Feminism''' is a term used to denote a [[social movement]] that works towards a social, [[economy|economic]], and [[politics|political]] [[equality]] of [[genders]] in the world. This is not a [[homogenuity|homogenuous]] movement and consists of many different submovements, all of which are feminist. Feminism is a movement that advocates equal rights for women. There are many different types (or subtypes) of feminism.

LGBT

Taranet: +fa

{{popular tag|LGBT}}

The initialism '''LGBT''' (or '''GLBT''') is used to refer collectively to [[lesbian|'''L'''esbian]], [[gay|'''G'''ay]], [[bisexuality|'''B'''isexual]], and [[transgender|'''T'''ransgender]] people. The acronym is an adaptation of the initialism LGB. While still controversial (see [[LGBT#Controversy|Controversy]] below), it is considered less controversial than the terms ''[[queer]]'' or ''lesbigay'' and is more comprehensive than ''[[homosexual]]'' or simply ''[[gay]]''. The initialism '''GLBT''' is sometimes used in the [[United States]] and commonly in [[Australia]], but to a lesser extent elsewhere.

Many variants exist. The most commonly used involve adding a '''''Q''''' for ''[[queer]]'' or ''[[questioning]]'' (some variants, in fact, use ''two'' Qs to represent ''both'' of these groups), an '''''A''''' for [[asexual]] or allies (and sometimes ''''S'''' for ''[[straight ally]]''), an '''''I''''' for ''[[intersex]]'', or a '''''P''''' for ''[[pansexual]]'' or ''[[polyamory|polyamorous]]''. Some even add an '''''O''''' for ''[[omnisexual]]'' or ''other''.

==Meaning of each term==
Each term in the initialism is used to refer to members of the specific group and to the ''community'' ([[subculture]]) that surrounds them. This can include rights advocates, artists, authors, etc.

===Lesbian===
{{see details|lesbian}}

In this context, lesbian refers to females with a [[sexual orientation]] exclusively towards females.

===Gay===
{{see details|gay}}

In this context, ''gay'' refers specifically to males with a sexual orientation exclusively towards males.

===Bisexual===
{{see details|bisexuality}}

Bisexual refers to persons who are attracted to more than just one gender. While traditionally bisexuality has been defined as 'an attraction to both males and females', it commonly encompasses [[Pansexuality]], 'an attraction where the gender of the partner is of little or no relevance' (i.e. to male, female, and [[transgender|any other gender identity]]). Bisexuality covers anywhere between the sexual orientations of [[asexuality]], homosexuality, and heterosexuality.

===Transgender===
{{see details|transgender}}

Transgender is generally used as a catch-all [[umbrella term]] for a variety of individuals, behaviours, and groups centered around the full or partial reversal of gender roles as well as physical sexual reassignment therapies (which can be just hormonal or involve various degrees of surgical alteration). A common definition is "People who feel that the gender they were assigned (usually at birth) is a false or incomplete description of themselves." Included in this definition are a number of well known sub-categories such as [[transsexual]], [[transvestism|transvestite]] and sometimes [[genderqueer]]s. (See also [[cross-dressing]].)

==History==
{{Main|LGBT history}}

Up until the [[sexual revolution]] of the [[1960s]] there were no widely known terms for describing the people in these groups other than the derogatory terms used by the [[heterosexual|straight]] community; [[third gender]], in use before the second world war, fell out of use after it. As people began organizing for their sexual rights they needed a term that would say who they were in a positive way. (Compare [[heteronormativity]])

The first term used, ''[[homosexual]]'', carried too much negative baggage and was replaced by ''gay''. As lesbians forged their own identity, the term ''gay and lesbian'' became more common. This was soon followed by bisexual and transgender people also asking for recognition as legitimate categories within the larger community. However, after the initial euphoria of the beginnings of the [[Stonewall Rebellion]] wore off, starting in the late 1970s and early 1980s, there was a change in perception and some gay men and lesbian women were not very accepting of bisexual or transgender people, and disparaged them.

They accused transsexual people of as acting out [[stereotypes]]; and bisexual people of actually being gay men or lesbian women who were simply too afraid to "[[come out]]".

Not until the 1990s did it become common for people to speak of "gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people" with equal respect within the movement.

''LGBT'' became increasingly common from the mid [[1990s]] and [[as of 2005]], ''LGBT'' has become so mainstream that it has been adopted by the majority of [[List of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community centers|lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community centers]] and the LGBT press in most [[English language|English]]-speaking countries. Although still today it is often questionable as to whether someone or a group using the term is doing so in a tokenistic manner, and is actually only committed to lesbian & gay issues (or even just gay men's issues).

==Variants==
Many variants exist, including variations which merely change the order of the letters; but ''LGBT'' is the most common term and the one most accepted in current usage.{{Fact|date=February 2007}} When not inclusive of transgender people it is shortened to '''LGB'''. It may also include two additional ''Q''s for ''[[queer]]'' and ''questioning'' (sometimes abbreviated with a question mark) ('''LGBTQ''', '''LGBTQQ''', '''GLBTQ2'''); a variant being '''LGBU''', where ''U'' stands for "unsure", an ''I'' for [[intersex]] ('''LGBTI'''), another ''T'' for ''[[transsexual]]'' ('''LGBTT'''), another ''T'' (or ''TS'' or the numeral 2) for ''[[Two-Spirit|two-spirited]]'' people, and an ''A'' for straight ''[[straight ally|allies]]'' or ''[[asexual]]'' ('''LGBTA'''). At its fullest, then, it is some permutation of '''LGBTTTIQQA''', though this is extremely rare. The order of the letters is also not standardized; in addition to the uses which reverse the initial L and G, the extended letters, if used, may appear in almost any order.

The magazine ''[[Anything That Moves]]'' coined the acronym '''FABGLITTER''' (from [[Sexual fetishism|Fetish]], Allies, Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Intersexed, Transgender, Transsexual Engendering [[Revolution]]), although this term has not made its way into common usage.

The terms transsexual and intersex are regarded by some people as falling under the umbrella term ''transgender'', though many transsexual and intersex people object to this (both for different reasons). [[Gay-straight alliance]] (GSA) organizations often use '''LGBTQA''' for ''LBGT, questioning and allies''.

Some variants are local alterations that are used to the exclusion of others by virtue of being commonplace in a region. For example, in [[Minnesota]] the term ''GLBT'' is more prominent.

'''SGL''' (for ''[[same gender loving]]'') is often favored by [[African-American]] homosexuals as a way of distinguishing themselves from what they regard as [[white (people)|white]]-dominated LGBT communities.

'''LUG''' (for ''[[lesbian until graduation]]''), '''GUG''' (''gay until graduation'') and '''BUG''' (''bisexual until graduation'') are facetious terms for young people (most commonly female) who experiment with same-sex relationships on a temporary basis, particularly while attending college or university.

==Controversy==
The term ''LGBT'' is controversial. For example, some transgender and transsexual people do not like the term because they do not believe their cause is the same as that of LGB people; they may also object when an organization adds a ''T'' to their initialism or acronym when the level of service they actually offer to trans people is questionable. There are also LGB people who don't like the ''T'' for the same or similar reasons.

Many people also believe that a sharp distinction should be drawn between [[sexual orientation]] and [[gender identity]]. ''GLB'' concerns the former; ''TTI'' concerns the latter.

Similarly, some intersex people want to be included into LGBT groups and would prefer ''LGBTI''; others insist that they are not a part of the LGBT community and would rather not be included in the term.

A reverse to the above situations is evident in the belief of 'lesbian & gay separatism' (not to be confused with the related, [[Lesbian Separatism]]) which holds that Lesbians and Gay men form (or should form) a community distinct and separate from other groups normally included in the LGBTQ sphere. While not always appearing of sufficient number or organisation to be called a '[[social movement|movement]]', this group persists as a significant, and often vocal and active, element within most parts of the LGBT community. This is particularly noticeable in [[United Kingdom|UK]] political and campaign organisations. People of this opinion will commonly also deny the existence or right-to-equality of non-[[monosexuality|monosexual]] orientations and of [[transsexualism|transsexuality]]. This can extend to public [[biphobia]] and [[transphobia]].

Many people have looked for a generic term to replace the initialisms, acronyms, and abbreviations. Words like "[[queer]]" and "rainbow" have been tried but most have not been widely adopted. "Queer" has many negative connotations to older people who remember the word as a taunt and insult, a usage of the term which has continued. Many younger people also understand "queer" to be more politically charged than "LGBT". "Rainbow" has connotations that recall the [[hippies]], [[New Age]] movements and politics ([[Jesse Jackson]]'s [[Rainbow Coalition]].)

Other gay people also do not care for the term as the lettering comes across as being overly "[[Political correctness|politically correct]]", or as an attempt to [[Categorization|categorize]] the various groups of people into one [[grey area]] word.

It is also worth noting that there are some lesbian, gay, and bi people who are against an "LGBT community", or "LGB community", including the [[LGBT rights|political and social solidarity, and visibility and human rights campaigning]] that normally goes with it (including [[gay pride|pride]] marches and events). Some of them believe that grouping together people with non-heterosexual orientations perpetuates the myth that being gay/lesbian/bi makes a person deficiently different than other people. This fraction of gay/lesbian/bi people are often not very visible compared to other LGBT people, as most of them blend into the general population showing few or zero external or social indicators as to their orientation, apart from interest in the same gender.

== David Korten ==

[[David Korten]] is board chair of the Positive Futures Network, publishers of YES! A Journal of Positive Futures, and founder and president of The People-Centered Development Forum.

Korten has thirty years of field experience in Asia, Africa, and Latin America as a writer, teacher, and consultant on development management, alternative development theory, and the strategic roles of nonprofit organizations in advancing social and economic transformation.

He is a former faculty member of the Harvard Business School and the author of nine previous books including the best-selling "When Corporations Rule the World".

Dr. David C. Korten has over thirty-five years of experience in preeminent business, academic, and international development institutions as well as in contemporary citizen action organizations.

Trained in economics, organization theory, and business strategy with M.B.A. and Ph. D. degrees from the Stanford University Graduate School of Business, his early career was devoted to setting up business schools in low income countries -- starting with Ethiopia while still a doctoral candidate at Stanford -- in the hope that creating a new class of professional business entrepreneurs would be the key to ending global poverty.

After graduation, Korten completed his military service during the Vietnam War as a captain in the U.S. Air Force, serving in Air Force headquarters command, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and the Advanced Research Projects Agency.

He then served for five and a half years as a Visiting Associate Professor of the Harvard University Graduate School of Business where he taught in Harvard's middle management, M.B.A. and doctoral programs.

He also served as the Harvard Business School advisor to the Nicaragua-based Central American Management Institute.

He subsequently joined the staff of the Harvard Institute for International Development, where he headed a Ford Foundation-funded project to strengthen the organization and management of national family planning programs.

In the late 1970s, Korten left U.S. academia and moved to Southeast Asia, where he lived for nearly fifteen years, serving first as a Ford Foundation project specialist, and later as Asia regional advisor on development management to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

His work there won him international recognition for his contributions to pioneering the development of powerful strategies for transforming public bureaucracies into responsive support systems dedicated to strengthening community control and management of land, water, and forestry resources.

Disillusioned by the evident inability of USAID and other large official aid donors to apply the approaches that had been proven effective by the nongovernmental Ford Foundation, Korten broke with the official aid system.

His last five years in Asia were devoted to working with leaders of Asian nongovernmental organizations on identifying the root causes of development failure in the region and building the capacity of civil society organizations to function as strategic catalysts of national- and global-level change.

Korten came to realize that the crisis of deepening poverty, growing inequality, environmental devastation, and social disintegration he was observing in Asia was also being experienced in nearly every country in the world -- including the United States and other "developed" countries.

Furthermore he came to the conclusion that the United States was actively promoting -- both at home and abroad -- the very policies that were deepening the resulting global crisis. For the world to survive, the United States must change.

He returned to the United States in 1992 to help advance that change. He has since had a leading role in raising public consciousness of the political and institutional consequences of economic globalization and the expansion of corporate power at the expense of democracy, equity, and enviornmental health.

His publications are required reading in university courses around the world. He is also a popular international speaker and a regular guest on talk radio and television.

Second-wave feminism

2008-03-30T16:55:45Z

Taranet: just a start

'''''Second-wave feminism''''' refers to a period of [[feminist]] activity which began during the late [[1960s]] and lasted through the late [[1970s]]. Where [[first-wave feminism]] focused on overturning legal (''[[de jure]]'') obstacles to equality, second-wave feminism addressed unofficial (''[[de facto]]'') inequalities as well.

==Overview==
Second-wave feminism is generally identified with a period beginning in the early nineteen sixties. It is referred to as "second-wave" feminism as [[social change]]s tend to occur in waves.{{Fact|date=February 2008}} Its proponents ascribe its arrival to what they see as the failure of first wave feminism to achieve its aims.

The movement encouraged [[women]] to understand the [[psychological]] implications of [[sexist]] [[stereotype]]s, and to make them realize that they could achieve more in life than being a [[housewife]]. It is credited by some{{Who|date=February 2008}} as having opened up the eyes of [[US|American]] women to a world of [[career]]s and achievement. During the [[Second World War]], many women experienced [[working life]] for the very first time. Women and [[men]] were working side by side, and achievements were being recognized. In the wake of the war, it is often argued that the short-lived affirmation of women's independence gave way to a pervasive endorsement of female [[subordination]] and [[domesticity]], and it was not until the 1960s that the women's movement became successful.
