(6,630 posts)I associate the liberal approach to be towards inclusiveness and support of each other in our lives and work. I consider liberals to be against exploitation.
How can fictionalizing torture bring us closer to equality and respect?
I do not get how just making sure something is legal makes it OK.
I do not find it at all OK. I worked hard to get Prop 2 passed here in CA (this was about getting laying hens out of tiny cages and pigs out of crates, etc.). I raise livestock, and farm organically. It matters to me that animals are treated humanely and I have spent my life working towards improving the welfare of all farm animals personally and through the legislative process.
I cannot see how violent porn, whether it is legally produced or not leads us towards treating all people humanely and with respect.
I do not see how this "freedom to view women tortured and subjugated through violence" for the benefit of sexual gratification builds a liberal agenda or base.
