(80,708 posts)wisdom, I'll change my mind. Except, the basic premises of the generalizations are false. I already don't like misogynist porn, any more than I like hair metal. But all porn or "most porn" is not misogynist, in my opinion, just like porn containing blowjobs is not inherently misogynist.
I'm not being defensive, I'm responding to you, which is what you're doing to me. You apparently don't like being challenged on your right to attempt to 're-educate' people.
If you really want to understand porn, since it's so important to you, try watching some. Maybe by looking for it on your own instead of following links from anti-porn bloggers. Just remember that, like with many things, what you find is highly dependent upon what you look for.
Or don't, make up your own mind.
The only author I've tried to get DU members to read is Korzybski, whose ideas in general semantics are sorely needed by people who get way too attached to their categories and labels, which allows them to make blanket statements like "most porn is" "Feminists are" "Progressives are" etc. etc.
