    But men are?

    Also, the existence of gay male porn gives men the stupid arsed opportunity to argue that 'men are abused in porn too... this totally isn't like a feminism issue at all!'

    So like... still not really any better than watching straight porn.

    But men are

    Who cares?

    Best thing that happens? Men start to care. Worst thing that happens? They come down with us.

    Wow! Because I totally care about men's disingenous arguments and see them as tiny little babies that are just misunderstood and who definitely wouldn't grasp at straws trying to find a single argument they could use! I would give them multiple inches in order to persuade them without expecting them to take a whole mile! /s

    You can try asking them how male exploitation in the porn industry lessens female exploitation?

    If you don’t care about literal children being preyed upon by men just because those children happened to be male then you’re supporting pedophilia and your just as gross as those men who do it.

    If you don’t want to talk about how male children are exploited fine but don’t try to say it’s okay for people to consume this crap just because.

    The fact also remains that men will use whatever straw man argument they can to keep up their supply of porn. You might not care or be won over by these but society at large is... like not everything is about how smart you are. Ya know.

    Ps... men start to care? Oh yeah cos men getting raped has clearly had an impact on how men view rape and not just been used as a straw man which is exactly what the tool going... I only watch GAY porn... is doing... not all men’s porn watching is bad... I don’t watch bad porn. If you’re honestly fooled by that I feel sorry for you.

    That was my excuse too. Women are not hurt when I watch gay porn.

    The thing is, the money they haul is used to make more traditional porn, which does hurt women.

    So many very young men are also recruited by the industry because of the appeal of "twinks" and stuff like that. I don't believe they enjoy themselves either. We shouldn't look at any potential minors being hurt, regardless of their gender.
