Anonymous To the anti-porn anon: Honestly, I think this issue is really difficult for feminism. On the one hand, the porn industry employs thousands upon thousands of women; on the other, it objectifies us and creates unrealistic, sometimes harmful ideas of sex and sexual health. Honestly, I haven't figured out how to feel about it. I don't like the objectification, but I don't want to invalidate the choices of sex-positive women who are in the industry. It empowers women, but it doesn't, too.

individual “empowerment” does not empower women as a whole. You cannot be empowered by an industry that is fundamentally misogynistic People will say getting rid of the industry will make women lose their jobs. Of course it will, that’s why we need to make sure they receive jobs that pay them well and respect them Diane
