I'm not meaning to imply that men come out of it unscathed by any means. But since the majority of the porn audience is male, and since the majority of the porn workers are female, it seems this would be more a woman's issue.
How on earth is this more a woman's issue if, as you say, the majority of porn consumers are male? I'm puzzled why your poll question zeros in on the supposed deleterious effects of porn on women when men are equally part of the equation too. Perhaps you feel that women's sexuality - and not men's - needs to be monitored and watched over but not everyone feels that way.

I never said a word about women's sexuality "being monitored or watched over." Re-read everything ive said in the thread. My concern has 0 to do with that, and everything to do with how porn can condition men to treat/view women as objects, and how it can make women feel insecure about themselves.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
