Porn!

After reading some pretty intense stuff on the flist about people's pornography addictions and the other associated evils of porn today, I am left with a single stupid question that is completely out of place in the original thread:

Why doesn't anybody ever complain that porn objectifies/degrades/devalues men? (I mean, provided that there are men in the porn. Obviously, lesbian porn doesn't objectify men, but, you know.)

(Also, can you tell it's a slow day? I can.)

Seriously. Girls can make a career of porn. Ron Jeremy aside, the guys are all just 'whoever is standing around.' People seem to pick out the Tracy Lords or Jenna Jamesons, but how often does 'Murray Everwood' get remembered?

I never thought of that. That's true though!

Oh absolutely. Our filters seem to be mainly site-based, so anything on Google's searches or Wikipedia's servers is fair game.

Scary, no?
