You think people shame women for being attracted to the male body? Lol straight women are a crazy bunch. Most women think the male body is beautiful and don't like the female body at all, maybe you should spend less time talking to straight men that's all I'm saying.

I never said this. I said that the male body is seen as something a lot less sexual than the female body, otherwise we'd see it a lot more in ads and stuff. The naked or sexy female body is expected nowadays. And despite this, female sexuality IS shamed and ridiculed. I do remember that in a final fantasy videogame, men petitioned to cover up a male character with a skimpy outfit because "it was gay". This is the kind of issues I'm talking about. And no, i have friends of every sexuality and sex.

Why do you think people defend pornography so much while shaming and ridiculing what women consume and the way they are?

Lol you're still talking about straight men though. Most women are not interested in video games, while straight men are the primary consumers of them. They think it's gay to even admit a man may be attractive, so why would they want to see a male character in a skimpy outfit?

And I also don't see a big difference between pornography and the erotica that women consume. Women overwhelmingly supported the Fifty shades of grey series and that 365 day movie. Maybe those people (men) who shame women for what they consume are just pointing out the hypocrisy. Men want to be violent with women and women want men to be domineering and violent with them (as long as they're handsome). Stop acting like women's desires are innocent and above criticism.

Most women are not interested in video games -- Source? Women are major consumers of video games, they just tend to be drawn toward different genres.
