Pornography in and of itself isn't sexist against women I'd say, but the way the industry is run definitely is. And preventing people from watching porn isn't going to solve the problem, much like banning drugs and forcing people into jail for possession and use of them hasn't worked.

lol are you being serious right now? pornography isn't sexist?

pornography reduces women down to sexual objects for the consumption of men primarily, there is pretty much no other field i can think of that's more sexist

 

" preventing people from watching porn isn't going to solve the problem"

isn't going to solve which problem?

destroying the pornography industry destroys the exploitation of women perpetuated in that industry

 

i didn't say preventing people from watching pornography, i'm talking about destroying the industry which can easily be done by stopping people from being able to build websites that sell pornography

if people have the medium through which they distribute pornography destroyed then the industry would collapse, you can't compare that to the drug trade since porn relies on websites that are published for public consumption

Well, I do have to correct you here, since we can already see that merely the statement of pornography means male-female sex. There is also male-male pornography. I said pornography isn't in and of itself sexist, because one, women don't even have to be involved, and 2, it can be done with the complete consent of the woman, like amateur porn. Of course though, the way the industry works is definitely sexist. I also say stopping people from watching porn isn't going to solve the problem, because much like drugs, there will be a black market of it, and then women themselves will end up getting punished for participating in it, like they do for prostitution, so it will not help them.
