while it would take a long time to actually cover a response to the question you raised,

I'd suggest you run over the TV channels and you will note that women appear generally

cleaning toilets, selling products -- and/or showing tits and ass.


This is also part of the propaganda which ridicules women and makes them unacceptable

as insiders in decision making. Naturally, TV shows, magazine ads and movies are all used

by patriarchy to make women look foolish.

So there really is no drawing of a line --- you have to understand it all --- be aware of it all.


I'd also just comment that here . . .

since the OP is about a particular type of porn: the kind that's degrading to women. But very interesting. Seems to send the message that your body is shameful and if you show it and don't feel humiliated or ashamed, there is something wrong with you.

You draw a conclusion that "therefore" the OP is about the "body as shameful" --

No one here is suggesting that there is anything wrong with the "body" or human sexuality ---

we are talking about the pornography industry degrading females.


Oddly, in a "shoe on the other foot" comparison . . . males understand very well the

power of ridicule --- especially when they themselves or one of their group is being

made the object of it.
