(6,199 posts)is also a sexual CHOICE. Insisting that the women who choose to do so are somehow subnormal and lacking the capacity to consent, simply to suit the narrative that porn is bad, is slut shaming. I did say "there is no other way to spin it" but what I should have said was "there is no other way to spin it and still attach any form of logic or consistency to the argument", because there are tons of ways to spin it as somehow "pro-woman" if you leave those qualities out. And since you brought it up, that's the same thing the "pro-life" does- spin their repressive ideology as "pro-woman", which makes perfect sense if you completely leave out logic, common sense, and in fact the woman.
If a person is pro-sex for themselves, but anti-everyone-else's-sex, they are not sex-positive. To continue your analogy, "Pro-Life", anti-abortion Rep. Scott DesJarlais pressured his mistress into having an abortion- would you consider him pro-choice on that basis?
Once again, it is not repeat NOT about their personal sexuality. It has nothing to do with what a person likes to do themselves, and everything to do with their acceptance of other people's choices, stop, end of sentence.
