Mainstream Porn Subjects Women To Unique Suffering

Gail Dines, a perfect example of reading too much in something.
You know, there are some people on this planet that will go to practically any lengths to analyse something to death even though there really is no such need. But they have to do it, you see, because it's their job.
Such an article, as seen here, is nothing that you or I might never have heard before. The whole subject of female degradation is one that has been around for the whole time that hardcore pornography in particular has been around.
But the fact of the matter is, and you do struggle to understand why such so-called intellectuals dismiss this point so readily, that nobody is forcing these women to star in pornography. They have a choice. That is their choice.
They don't have to take facial cumshots either. If they don't want to suffer 'chlamydia of the eyes' (that's a new one on me, I've never heard of that before) then they might want to search for a more suitable industry for them.
I'm not completely blind to the fact that there are women in the porn industry who don't feel like they have an escape and that have to do things like this to make ends meet. We should be concerned about them and they should be helped, certainly.
But pseudo-intellectual and obvious dribbling like you see heere doesn't actually do what you would expect these women to petition for and that is to actually help these women. Sitting on their arses in some cushy, warm university office is a very comfortable place to be. Why not try actually doing something about it?
