I do not watch it myself. However I don't see the issue with it. I mean if its not like kiddy porn or porn of some chick they locked in their basement why do they care? So why do they care? I dont understand this.
I suspect it's fear of the unknown, since I don't know any women who watch porn themselves who have a problem with their partner watching it. Who knows though, eh?
FYI: Many feminists are pro-porn. Many "modern feminists" are pro-porn. Many, many, many "modern feminists" do not think that men are worth less than women.
I'm a woman and I've watched porn. In a general way, I don't have a problem with it. Although, I am aware there are a lot of drawbacks to the whole industry of it.
But, some of my girl friends have had a huge problem with it, like what you're asking about. After talking with several of them in length about it, I got an impression that their aversion to it was likely because they've never actually watched any of it themselves. There was also an element of insecurity to their disdain of it, that they somehow could never live up to the images of the pornstars their boyfriends would watch in the videos.
There are lots of other reasons why some women dislike porn, but I believe the two I've mentioned are the basic ones that are perplexing you here.
I don't think "women" care about it that much, many women watch it themselves. Feminists tend to be the ones that look down on it, and it's not really much of a surprise. They try to infiltrate any space men find enjoyable and either change it or attempt to destroy it.
Some say "It's because it distorts the idea of how sex should be", and in response people should say "well who the fuck are you to say what "my" view of sex should be? Who made you a dictator of what I should be able to find sexually acceptable (aslong as it comes under the law) or sexually enjoyable?"
I don't watch much porn, but even then, nobody has a right to try and say you aren't allowed to see something because of how it conflicts with how the person complaining wants sex to be seen.
As a woman, it disturbs me that you, of all people, would even attempt to give an authoritative opinion about how us women think. From all of your comments over the years, you've always come across as rather clueless about the minds of women, despite your obvious confidence in your own corrupt opinions.
By the way, your ignorant statement about feminists being against porn is just ridiculous. I don't think you have a proper understanding of what feminism truly is. Newsflash: not all feminism is Radical Feminism.
Stop being such a egomaniacal window-licker and open your fucking mind for once.
Haha.
Where did you see "all women are the same" in her comment? Where did you see "all other opinions are invalid"? I certainly didn't see it.
She clearly states "you don't understand women" as if they are one collective consciousness, not individuals. I am not gonna get in to it, because I'll ask for an explanation, ask for people to prove their point, and it won't go anywhere, and the idiots on IIN will just use the Thumb option to agree with something when there is a rebuttal that rationally questions it. which strangely tends to be the case most of the time when feminism comes in to the discussion.
As a human being, it disturbs me to think that you, of all people, would even attempt to give an authoritative opinion that implies all women are the same, and simply because you are a woman, you have the right to dictate what every other woman thinks.
That's your opinion, and as it stands you haven't given any rational or astounding input of anything I've seen from you that gives enough reason to take what you said with any credibility. That mixed with he fact that you seem to have no actual reading comprehension as my comment was directed towards feminists, an ideology, not women, the gender. So I am supposed to take your word as something credible when I can't even trust you to be able to comprehend simple wordings in which a toddler could? Please.
That mixed with the fact that the part I mentioned on why feminists don't like porn was me stating "their" reasons in which "they" have said, not an assumption, an observation and example from what other feminists, which some if not most were female, have said, and you, once again, in your feeble attempts to try and seem like the fruit of knowledge comes out of your ass, could not use a single brain cell to even conjure that assumption.
"From ll your comments over the years, you've come across as clueless about the minds of women". You're not some magical and deep species. That aside, given the fact that I have been the go-to guy for advice from multiple females, hell, even some on here, have seen it as the opposite as opposed to your clearly idiotic position of opposition of pure ignorance, I think I'll side with the many rather than the few that can't even put two and two together before even responding.
So as it stands, I have you, a feminist, being the opposition of an anti-feminist that has had more examples to go against your attempted points than to support them.
Oh, and here comes the repeated line "Feminism is just misunderstood". This is exactly what I am talking about, people like you are so up your own asses that you make the same B.S point over and over again, all while trying to give the impression you are hard to understand and any opposition that has heard this point over and over again just doesn't understand, regardless of the fact of your complete incapability to actually prove your opposition wrong, all while clutching to your foolish ideology you can't defend, then pass everyone else off as close-minded and ignorant.
Not agreeing that all feminists are radical though most modern ones have no idea what the party is suppose to stand for.
I agree that radical feminists are the worst of the lot, but simply not being the worst of the group does not mean the less bad are correct. Lol.
Feminism simply says women should have equal rights. However most modern feminist believe they should get to pick which women are worthy, who gets special treatment, and that all men are worthless. Which is the same as being a chauvinist so is hypocritical. Neither one is very productive or progressive.
A group that promotes and stands for equality shouldn't be called feminism . When you look at the word feminism, it has "fem" in it. I has feminine connotations, and denotations.Equality,rights and privilege should be given to each person individually, regardless of their gender or a specific group. It should just be called humanism, or equalitarism or whatever. Nowadays, there is no such use for this movement since women already have won their rights to be treated as equal to men and viewed as such. The concept is really ridiculous at this juncture and it doesn't serve any purpose other than creating tension and unnecessary aggression between genders, instead of bringing them together like nature intended to.
Ooooohh Duzzy, I see your still making big long ruffling of other people's feathers again
Well someone got mad since I said I was. It was only once. After this they wanted nothing to do with me.
Woman here. I've watched porn. I can understand why guys want to watch it. I also understand why some girls get insecure. I think there's a few reasons (from my own experience talking to my own girl friends):
1) Some women think it a form of cheating--their SO is getting off while looking at a body/bodies besides their own
2) Some women think porn is demeaning to women (not always true, but a common supposition)
3) Some women feel insecure because they think the porn stars are more attractive than them, so therefore feel their body is not attractive enough to their SO
4) Some women see porn as sinful for religious reasons.
Or a combination of the above.
Ultimately you ought to find a gal that is comfortable with what you enjoy, and vice versa. It's easier than trying to change someone into accepting something they find repulsive.
Well its not like your partner has to love and adore everything you do. You also cant expect they are going to be into everything you are simply because they are dating you. If a woman hates football and dates a man who likes football is it right to demand he stops watching football? If that joy is not harming anyone or anything why should they be demanded to stop it? I guess it took a women to answer this question since the men seemed to have just turned it into a feminist/human rights debate. Thank you for answering my question as it was asked and staying on topic. =)
