(5,739 posts)It is slut-shaming. Oh and can anyone realistically see anyone ever making that claim about a man who enjoys making pornography? It is a sexist double standard from top to bottom.
Even if you would, I know men who enjoy making pornography and love it as a career. I dated one. They aren't mentally ill, there isn't something wrong with them. They are people of sound mind and very intelligent. I resent that accusation very much.
Talk all you want about the public sphere, but a woman should be free to do a job that she wants to even if it is sexually related. I'm not going to sit here and listen to sexist double standards and slut-shaming. You can say that is societal norm, I say that is just because there something wrong with society. Since when on DU do we defend sexist double standards, I though we were better.
Can pornography be degrading? Often yes it can, however as I said even then I hardly see the point of attacking someone willingly engaging in something you may personally find degrading.
Their choice their body, respect it.
