Showing Original Post only (View all)Does Porn Degrade Women? [View all]
My wife and I were watching TV Friday night when a documentary with that title came on. We both started laughing our asses off, then switched to another channel.
The reasons for our reactions are simple: we didn't need to watch the program in order to answer its title question.
Of course porn degrades women! In fact, the very purpose of porn is the degradation of women! And girls!
Porn teaches that the surest way to bring a woman to orgasm is by ejaculating on her face, and her climax will be even more intense if she's kneeling at the time. Porn teaches that the #1 goal of any "real" woman is giving pleasure to men. Porn teaches that fucking a woman's mouth while her arms dangle at her sides---so that she's not even actively participating in what's being done to her---is hot.
Porn also features women playing mother and daughter pleasuring one man simultaneously, and engaging in "incest" when the man commands it. It also features portrayals of direct incest, mother-daughter, mother-son, father-daughter, entire families, etc.
And then there are the "actresses" who may or may not be of legal age, simulated rape, suggestions of pedophilia, etc. And 90% of porn scenarios end with the male in control, "winning" his encounter with the female.
I think there was a movie against porn once. entitled "It's Not A Love Story," or something similar. It's a MUCH better title than the ridiculous question in the headline!
