And someone doesn't have to watch a lot of porn to see just how degrading to women it is.

Yup.

and:

I don't have a problem watching m/m porn. Funny, that. Know why? because I don't take it personally when men are treated like a fuck hole. Hmmm... I think I'm onto why most men don't have a problem watching women turned into nothing but a place to stick their dick.'

Especially when they've been taught and continously reassured that women LIKE that, or if they don't something's wrong with them.

this reminds me of a conversation I was trying to have with my friend the other day about porn. She sees antiporn feminists as having a double standard, because one of the feminists in her class said that gay porn isn't degrading to men, but porn is degrading to women. My (ignorant) friend doesn't get it and she also keeps saying, "but some women like it" (she has a gay guy friend who's been in a porno and a gal friend who gets paid for phone sex). I told her, "No, gay porn isn't degrading to men. Porn is degrading to women, because even in gay porn, one of the men takes the 'bitch' position, and the other one is the dominant." I still "like" my friend, but I can't STAND her perspectives on so many issues. If I can get her to understand why I'm antiporn, I'll consider that a huge accomplishment. Otherwise, I'll just keep calling her stupid in private.
