I never did understand people's objection to pornography. It's not like the woman doesn't have a choice to be there or not. We ALWAYS have a choice, no matter the situation. Being bribed with a gun to your head? There's the choice to die, and the choice to be bribed. There is always a choice.
Then there's the old, "She was probably sexually abused as a child." Ok. I know teachers where I work that are open about their abuse as children. I know family members who were abused. Why aren't they in porn? Why are they happy and successful? If they did a porn movie on the side would it be because they were abused or because women are in demand for adult films?
And what about the men in the movies? Why doesn't anyone ever say "They are being sexually exploited! They MUST have been sexually abused as a child!" Why are women victims of porn and men are not?
Stupid.
