And this is what it's like to live in a rape culture. Women can't own their own sexuality and consent is a bonus. :/ (Also helps contribute to the myth that "she was asking for it.")
I still use the MPAA ratings, but I just rate for graphicness of sex and violence. I'll probably move away from using them, though.
As far as outside internet stuff--yeah, most of the places I've worked have allowed at least some stuff. The most restrictive disallowed social networking/dating (which somehow didn't catch LJ) and anything to do with games, while the least restrictive had no filter at all and as long as my boss didn't see me with genitalia on the screen there was no fuss no muss. Current place is a bit in between.
