I hope all is well with you! I still love your site. :)

The first comment on that Guardian article was one saying men (not some, a few or any qualifier but rather just implying “all”) men wanted to see porn with men degrading women, the same rubbish I had to give up debating someone via a youtube comments section because they simply repeat the lies over and over thinking that it might make them true or at least seem like they had an argument.

The anti-porn argument will always fall over when you mention the studios run by women or the feminist porn, even sites like this with a pro-porn woman running it (even before you question how 2 men having sex in a gay film could somehow be degrading women) – they either go back to the original line or (in the case of the woman on youtube) suggest these women were effectively complicit in the attacks on women.

I don’t read the Guardian, it’s rather ironic as it likes to present itself as freethinking and liberal but it’s no better than the Mail.

As you mentioned in the CNET article, the Mail paper copy is full on anti-porn and to be fair, the paper itself is actually fairly conservative, but the website is full of celeb “oops” photos, long lens paparazzi stuff etc etc it’s a glaring hypocrisy.

“And as goes the industry, so go the performers. It’s well known that many of them come into porn looking for validation, fleeing lives of damage and abuse. They then sign up to a lifestyle that inflicts stress and illness, not to mention embarrassment, on its young foot soldiers, while offering nothing in the way of pensions and health insurance. Now they find themselves out of work, looking for a Plan B, when the only experience on their resumé is having sex for cash.”

That is a VERY generalised statement to say the least and the article as a whole dissapoints. As Violet says, very narrow-minded and focuses on just one aspect of a huge industry, and I’m certainly not an expert, but even I can see that there are many more aspects to the porn industry than he mentions.

I’ll still watch it before I discredit him completely, but so far it doesn’t look too good!

Thank you _^^_
