Hmmm....that's too easy and a bit of a copout. If you are a consumer of a misogynistic product, you are contributing and supporting its continuing creation, and are thus to some degree a misogynist yourself, are you not?
I am reminded of the Nuremberg trials and the common defense that 'I only watched, I didn't participate.'
Now, I'm
not saying that we are Nazis for watching porn (although I'm sure that someone will scream a long response based on deliberately misunderstanding what I am trying to say
), but honesty requires that we need to take some responsibility for what we support (even if only passively via consumption).
So add
degrading porn to my list of things I hate to see in porn. What I am always on the lookout for is something where I
believe the girl is having a good time. On rare occasions this may be as a results of good acting, but either way seeing the girl get into it is what makes it hot IMHO. I am so bored of generic porn where some HGH-freak is doggying a girl who is moaning "fuck me harder, faster" over and over while checking her watch.
Little boys judge their sexual prowess by how many women they fuck; men judge it based on how much the women they are with enjoy it. So let the little boys and the sadists have their Max Hardcore, and give me some soft lighting and honestly orgasming women.
