Funny I have a feminist friend and daughter who find the "Beauty Magazines" sexist and pay no attention to the gun rags. My son is a gamer and grabs the usual IT porn mag. I'm a fly fisherman, PETA thinks I'm a murderer and is offended by the fishing porn and Field & Stream. I also look at the cooking porn and ohhhhh that Popular Mechanics which has an occasional gun ad.

Offense is in the eye of the beholder. "Porn" is a specific word hijacked. It's original application was to describe the objeftification and exploitation of women in a sexual manner using media. Later it was extended to males in the same context. The use of the word porn in a bastard manner is offensive to those who have been exploited.
