Quoting Daydreamer: I have no idea where you took those ideas from, Cat, but they are oversimplified. First of all, let´s separate the legal porn industry and illegal one that´s often connected to human trafficking and drugs. I won´t spend a minute analysing the latter as I´m obviously against it (exactly like any kind of violation of human rights and personal freedom). However, in the former kind, none of the things you mentioned hold.
What gives you the idea that porns are about male domination? There are as many porn films about female domination as well - the idea is different people like different things, some guys want to dominate, some like being dominated. And, following the marketing rule that demand creates supply, both sides are provided for. Also, do notice that your bedroom life does not always reflect your daily life - many successful people love being dominated in the privacy of their house while they´d never let anyone dominate them outside it.
Women in porn films are not forced to choose this career, it is their conscious choice and their way of making money - it is legal so how can you tell them they are being discriminated here? Porn stars make lots of money, they money they´d never make working as check-out girls in Wal-mart. When they retire, they start their own porn business - like production companies etc. Actually they fall in the category of female entrepreneurs that we should look up to and, into the category of successful working women. Sure it´s not the case with every porn actress but there´s been quite a few who did it.
A long time ago I watched a tv documentary about porn business in Poland, to my greatest surprise women in this industry get paid about three times more than men. Where´s the inequality there?
As for taking pleasure from what they do - do you think a woman in a production line putting cans to boxes gets aroused by that? Do you think she finds it orgasmic? It is just a job. Some like it more, some don´t.
Also, it´s quite unfair to say no normal woman would watch porn with violence, rape or the like. Does it mean no normal person watches horror films? Actually normal (whatever that means) people know the difference between films and reality. I don´t know any people addicted to porn although I could bet 80% of my friends have seen at least one porn in their lives. I know couples who watch porns just to have fun - not because they have to but because they want to fool around and you can´t tell them it´s sick - it is unacceptable for you and that´s fine.
The alcohol example is not missed. I have already stated that not all women are abused in the porn industry, which makes alcohol, porns and drugs the same. For some people it´s fun, for others it isn´t. Yet, all of those may be a danger if they become too often present in one´s life. |
