: 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.

***Judgeing by the lack of oppositional response I would say you have totally shut them down. I guess you are pretty smart after all.
