(36,925 posts)What is the evidence that women aren't freely choosing that lifestyle? Certainly there are situations where people are being trafficked and slavery most certainly does exist, but that's not the same as what's being discussed. I'd like to have a job that pays in the high six figures to drive fast cars around town all day. That doesn't mean I'm a slave because I have to take a lower paying less desirable job in order to pay the bills, and that's making the assumption the job in question is undesirable. As I pointed out, you have no shortage of people today literally doing this for free. The idea that some might want to get paid for it just shouldn't be all that surprising.
The idea that porn harms women just isn't that solid. If anything the evidence suggests the exact opposite, not to mention whatever "porn" was displayed by Playboy was very much on the side of soft where actual sex wasn't even depicted.
