...I am not a feminist. What? Being against porn doesn't equal feminism. I'm also pro-gun, so, again, what? Regardless of the definition of feminist, I am not one. I choose not to be, and part of that is because of the whole "all guys are evil and can't be feminists" thing, but also because it's deeply confusing and not relevant to me.

Yes, all jobs can be abusive, but my point is that porn is kind of on a new level. Slaving away at some corporate job, exhausting yourself for hours to earn very little is hellish, yes, but being raped is far worse - and that's usually what porn is. It's also humiliating & victims of it have to live with the videos of their abuse potentially existing forever for people to get off to. You don't get that with regular jobs. The two are simply not comparable.

I never said you are a feminist? Simply that you act and talk like them. The only anti-porn people I have seen were feminists. And they make the exact same "arguments" you do. Word for word.

That one can be raped and "abused" in the porn industry is not a criticism of porn itself. It is a call for the change of the porn industry, there is no issue with a porn where the men and women are not raped and instead are "exhausting" themselves for hours like everyone does in every job ever because they wish to.

They will have to increase the porn actors' and actresses' salaries, and make sure for them not to be raped and "abused" in the industry. That's the solution, not the banning of porn itself.

That they are recorded is also not an issue when they wish to be recorded. It's like acting. An actor or actress is recorded and their faces are for years to come plastered on books, cds, etc, and people watch them in the movies and films they acted in even when they are long retired.

As long as someone wishes to be in the porn industry, and recorded, then the recording is not an issue.

My argument simply was your "ban all porn and don't watch them because one can be raped and abused in porn" makes no sense just as "ban all guns and don't use guns because one can use guns to hurt others" makes no sense.
