What People Are Actually Doing On The Internet In 2013

The numbers may surprise you.

Via: liewcf.com

Yesterday Facebook announced that 1.1 billion people use the site every month. But where do others stand? The results are surprising.

For all of Instagram's popularity, Snapchat users upload 110 million more photos per day. Yahoo Mail is more popular than Twitter. And even MySpace is as popular as Spotify.

To get sense of what the internet actually looks like in 2013, we've compiled a list of some of the biggest social media sites and apps. These are official numbers, which means some may be inflated a bit — Google+ counts users in a very generous way, for example. But overall they're a pretty good indication of just how people spend time on the internet now.

What Is Feminist Porn?

“It's making a statement that women should be allowed to watch whatever kind of porn they want to watch,” says porn star Courtney Trouble.

The audience for the Eighth Annual Feminist Porn Awards is shimmying in and out of a tightly packed bar full of bow ties and Tumblr-esque galaxy prints. A woman in a hunter-green pencil dress and Mad Men–era updo reaches for a glass of wine, revealing a tuft of armpit hair — obviously a conscious choice. The awards take place in Toronto, and this year's event is held in a posh venue normally used for wedding receptions. There is a swirling staircase up to a balcony, a row of crystal chandeliers, and a giant screen projecting writhing naked bodies. Moans echo over the audience, who cheer as a man on screen is penetrated with a dildo; the scene shot with dreamy sort of cinematography.

Later a sequin-jacketed MC says to the audience, seemingly out of context, "In sex work, get that money, darlin'. Get it up front. Get it. Get it. Get it." Behind me a woman with a septum piercing says to the girl beside her, "Yeah, but with films...that's hard." In feminist porn, how to actually make money is one of many open questions.

With the hundreds of guests that came to the event, it's clear that what's happening here is a movement, an industry and a philosophy, all of which seem to be in a constant shift. For some, feminist porn may sound like an oxymoron — and in reality, feminist porn does remain a bundle of contradictions. None of this stops feminist pornographers from moving full speed ahead with an agenda of equality and fairer working conditions in porn. But as feminist porn expands to include the kind of hardcore scenes typical of more mainstream films, can it stay true to its ideological roots? And will staying true to those roots ever be profitable?

A burlesque performance at the FPAs. The number was choreographed to Grimes' "Be a Body" and also included faux blood vomiting.

Put simply, feminist porn is porn made by feminists. But the guidelines to submit to the Feminist Porn Awards (FPAs) have a vague "I know it when I see it" quality. The FPAs call for porn that is "made by women or marginalized people," porn that "challenges stereotypes," and porn that "depicts real pleasure."

This year's FPAs also included the first Feminist Porn Conference, held at the University of Toronto. During the keynote speech, filmmaker Tristan Taormino had another definition: Feminist porn is organic, fair-trade porn.

Labor has always been a feminist issue, points out Taormino. She explains that the organic, fair-trade food movement has been successful at educating consumers, and she hopes this is what the feminist porn movement can also do: "If you care about the conditions under which your food was made and your jeans were made, then you should care about the conditions under which your pornography was made. And you should be willing to pay a little more for it to support the industry and its growth." It's early on a Saturday, and the lecture hall, crowded with coffee-toting attendees in comfy sweaters, erupts into applause.

During the daylong conference, the hallmarks of "organic" feminist porn are discussed: consent; fair wages; making a comfortable environment for performers; trying to depict real pleasure; and an attempt to inject feminist, intersectional politics if not on screen then at least behind the camera.

Sides Are The New Cleavage

Unless you're Ashley Tisdale, in which case you're in favor of showing side and boob.

The sideless army: Kate Moss, Gwyneth Paltrow, Erin Wasson, Gwen Stefani, and Ashley Tisdale.

The dress that drew so much traffic it practically broke tabloid news sites across the world last week? That appeared on Tracy Anderson's biggest DVD seller of all time, the body of Gwyneth Paltrow, which went to the Iron Man 3 premiere in a dress by Antonio Berardi that was essentially a see-through bathrobe with modesty panels down the front and back. It was the rare kind of red carpet gown a celeb probably has to bikini wax to wear. Though extreme, the look was actually an example of a flattering, rising trend: sidelessness. If the best-dressed people on red carpets are telling women anything these days, it's put away your cleavage and bust out your sides. (Ashley Tisdale would argue for both, as you can see, but I did specify "best dressed.)

Over the past year, year and half, sideless gowns — and jumpsuits, if you're Gwen Stefani — have been among the most discussed of all red carpet looks. Even the sparkly nipple sculptures Beyoncé's wearing on tour can't out-OMG a good sideless dress or onesie. But unlike Beyonce's sculpted breasts, which can be nothing but sculpted breasts and therefore not illusive at all, a lot of sideless dresses are merely illusions. Put some nude fabric under a sheer panel and there you go — Erin Wasson and Kate Moss look naked, get headlines, you think you've seen them sort of naked, and everybody wins.

And if you're just a regular person looking for a fun look to wear out at night, why not show your sides instead of your, say, cleavage? Cleavage isn't necessarily slenderizing, but the beauty of the sideless dress is it creates an illusion of a slimmer shape, just like Stella McCartney's "miracle dress" does. And judging by Gwyneth Paltrow (who seems to prefer to go slip-free and commando with her sideless gowns, but you don't have to) — who is a meter of fashion trends and Tracy Anderson's method if there ever was one — side-free is the way to be.
