History of Feminism

(3,220 posts)When being told porn is "satanic" and "evil" over and over again, porn becomes a more dangerous, exciting thing for men to look at, making it more likely they will use porn.
I have no problem with people using porn. It's not an issue that really effects me or one I really think about, and I think as long as the people in the movie were legally able to agree to be in it, then there's nothing really wrong with it.
It ought to be mentioned, though, that the biggest hypocrites scream the loudest. I can only imagine the mega-stash that the far-right religious nutters have. Their hard drives are probably begging to be put out of their misery right now.
And before someone misinterprets, I'm not calling anyone on DU a hypocrite or arguing that feminists are linked to the religious right. The two aren't even close to being the same. Feminists argue against porn due to the effects they perceive that it has not only on women, but also on society as a whole. The religious right argues against porn from a stuffy patriarchal point of view (basically using the logic that women should be protected because they're inferior to men. This is complete opposite to what every feminist believes).
