(80,708 posts)Let me guess: The kind of looking you like to do is okay, the kind of looking someone else... not so much.
exploiting the system which exploits desperate and abused women who are often coerced if not outright forced into the lucrative sex industry.
Wait. It's "lucrative"? Well, I can't imagine why anyone would do it, then. I know you are deeply invested in the idea that every woman ancillarily involved with a naked picture or a picture of sex is a "victim", much as the anti-reproductive-choice forces are deeply invested in the narrative of women being "victimized" by "the abortion industry". The idea that people might just be making their own damn minds about this stuff, is too threatening.
I'm talking about physical, sexual arousal on the basis of appearance. Is that natural? Or programmed by the patriarchy?
And when the women men are 'enjoying' looking at are presented as objectified caricatures of sexuality, well I for one find that to be far from the most natural and egalitarian forms of 'looking'.
You realize, you have to put yourself in someone else's head by about 3 orders of magnitude to even come close to making that statement.
