Porn did not rape that woman. They were rapsists, they were abusers and they were bad people in general.
Correlation is not causation. To say so is a cop out for the men responsible. The people who assult are personally responsible, no excuses, no porn made them do it.
My husband watches wrestling on TV, he doesn’t go out and punch people randomly (or even his boss when his boss is being unreasonable and my partner thinks his boss probably deserves to be punched).
I fantasize about some pretty dark stuff that would make me SICK SICK SICK if it really happened.
Most people can watch porn, play violent video games and look at women dressed in a revealing matter without engaging in any of the implied activities.
There is a larger culture out there. People who believe that others exsist solely for their benefit, who see certain walks of life as useable, disposable. This is the problem.
Some porn does play on that belief. But to blanket statment say that all porn is bad, all porn causes rape is errenous, IMHO. Maybe this will get me kicked off the sane feminist side. But, there it is …
Disagreeing with Sanefeminist will get you kicked off the site? When hell freezes over! The whole POINT is that we can disagree, discuss, and learn from each other.
Now, to your comments specifically. First, have we decided what “porn” is? Maybe we need to make sure we’re talking about the same thing.
Secondly….well, let’s answer the first question before we go any further! Is anything erotic or any nudity porn? Nope.
