So I passed.
I hate some of the things that go on in the porn industry. I think there is abuse and exploitation.
I think some porn is twisted and dehumanizes and objectifies women *and* men.
But I don't think it should all be wiped off the face of the earth either.
It doesn't interest me anymore (it did at one time and I got over it) but I am not categorically opposed to all of it.
Problem is, I have no idea how/where to draw the line. 
bet my sex is better than your porn sex
I really wanted to respond to that post, but it's the men's group and don't feel I should intrude on their space. Cause I don't want them intruding on ours.
I mean everyone should have a place they can go talk about their thing without others sticking their nose in. Just like I don't want non homeschoolers putting in their two cents in the hs group. Or nts in the aspie group. Or, welL you get my drift.
I am of the opinion that porn is detrimental to society. It dehumanizes men and women, but especially women. It objectifies people as nothing but things to be used. I strongly believe that it is an abusive industry. Yeah you get the occasional I love my job type, but seriously, who wants to grow up to become a porn star. Does anyone normal aspire for their child to be one?
I believe that many of the disappeared wind up being fodder for the sicker side of porn.
I believe it interferes with normal relations and sends the completely wrong message about sex and relationships and roles and worth.
I'm as wild - or wilder- than the next person, but porn? It hurts far far more than any scintilla of possible positives for the few.
Then again, I'm a vegetarian who thinks killing animals for food is when other perfectly good alternatives exist is wrong, too.
where I think nearly every single shirt they owned had a dragon of some kind on it! lol . . .
Sometimes I miss those days. My youngest, 13, is taller than I am and has to shop in the men's department. 
He thinks stupid is - er - stupid. He has little tolerance for his friends who try to dress/act/talk all "gangsta", too. In truth, he finds it offensive since he's black and some of these friends are white. He tells them - hey - *I* don't sag my pants or talk all ghetto - why do you think all black people do? It gets almost comical sometimes to see him arguing with his red haired blue-eyed friend about it. His friend made the mistake of taking it one step too far once and called him the "n" word - not like an insult but like some AA's use it with each other. My son HATES that word and well, let's just say the little red head will think twice (or three times) before he uses it again. In fact, he's dressed down a number of other AA's for using it as well. But I digress onto another subject entirely . . . (not unusual for me as you probably know. 
)
"No sense of humor"
"Lighten up"
"It's *empowering* for the woman"
Fuck that noise.
It is DRAIN CLEANER, which has precisely nothing to do with sex.
Edit to add that old favorite: "it must suck to hate sex as much as you do!"
and the first OP i see is a female pilot kicked a man off the plane for sexist comments. lol.
i wanted to say.... fire her. how dare she have a problem with a sexist comment being made to her
you are right
lighten up francis. no sense of humor.
Good for her. I would love to be a pilot. Seems like you can basically kick any asshole off the plane you want.
But really. Shouldn't she have just sucked it up and "reclaimed" the words he was using? She is a pilot right? She is empowered!!! Words don't matter!!!
I am fucking sick of misogyny apologists.
