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.

 

"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. "

 

come on, we are being general here, we both know that 90% of the porn industry is based on the exploitation of women

 

"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"

 

you can consent to being exploited and having sexism used against you, consent given has nothing to do with whether something is sexist or not

and as i said above the porn industry is 90% about exploiting women, gay - gay male porn is an extreme outlier in the porn industry

 

"I also say stopping people from watching porn isn't going to solve the problem"

 

this is a strawman, i said destroying the channels that distribute pornography, which would be very very easy, china for example has their infrastructure set up in such a way that many popular sites like twitter are blocked

 

"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."

 

i didn't say anything about punishing women for having their bodies recorded, i said destroying the channels that widely distribute porn, it wouldn't completely be eradicated of course but at least the exploitation would massively be reduced
