If choosing to be in sex work is so great why aren’t men “choosing” that employment even remotely as often as women have to? If being on the receiving end of violence and degradation for a living is totally okay, why aren’t men being abused and violated even remotely as much as women are in porn? Even if you act like a good liberal and claim you care about the woman’s choice to be degraded, you still know that the demand is for WOMEN to be degraded and the vast majority of men are completely unwilling to even consider doing what they so regularly watch and pay women to do, even in a monogamous or private. What does this say about the relationship between men and women?

Liberal normalization of porn and sex work allows the demand from men for violence and use of women’s bodies to remain unchallenged and without criticism. So long as we can convince women it’s empowering to choose to give men what they want, men don’t have to reflect on what it is they want or how awful it is.
