Well, that's ALL porn for you. I'm considering becoming a rapist, as you & Leigh know by now. It must be because I saw a ladies boobies.

Because ALL porn involves treating women like shit. Apparently. You know, I WON'T FUCKING LOOK AT THAT STUFF, thankyou very much. I get uncomfortable watching drama rapes on the telly, let alone what you describe. I worry about people who DO like that violent shit.


Mr Raper.

PS. As an exercise, I've been wondering how well I'd do if I registered with a dating agency under the name Mr Raper. I mean, what the fuck do I say when someone shows interest???? (If they do that is, *chuckle* ;) )

Yeah suppose, but perhaps it's a question of degree...

WOULD YOU RATHER: 

Ten years sitting behind a desk in an office where the clock seems to run at
half-speed, gathering progressively worse musculoskeletal and other health
disorders and going silently out of your mind as you watch your life swirl
down the drain infinitesimally slowly (at first), feeling your whole reality
tunnel atrophy gradually over time as the only adaptation to the relentless
reduction of your entire life down to the SAME DAY, over and over...

Or

Ten years accommodating multiple male members up the batty at once and
pretending to enjoy having your head yanked around by the hair for the
facial that you have to pretend to enjoy, getting jacked up in order to get
through the day, calling yourself an �actress� on all the forms you have to
sign etc etc.

Exploitation? Sounds like most jobs.

I think the problem many have with porn is not that it's exploitation, 
because a fuckload of jobs involve that. It's that sex is in the 
equation, which is the real dealbreaker. It's a lingering 
Puritanical/Victorian attitude that needs to go the way of the dinosaur, 
although no one is going to admit that's why they are against it, I'm sure.

As I said, some porn can be sexist, but the genre as a whole is not 
inherently sexist. I'm sure there is a lot of exploitation involved, but 
that may be the case with the clothes you wear or the food you eat. I 
think it's the sex part that bothers people. Someone at a Jenna Jameson 
level of stardom, or even at the Sasha Grey level, is not being 
exploited. They know what they are doing, I am sure, and may even see 
the men who buy their stuff as the suckers.
