Why so many "anti-feminists" in the atheist community?

I prefer literary porn or home DD videos (doesn't even need sex), but if I am going to watch porn it's going I be gay porn unless someone else asks me to watch something else.
The plastic Barbie doll faking her orgasm is a major turn off for me.

When I said "gay," I meant male gay: i.e. that most men will get off on watching lesbians have sex, but I don't think most women will get off on watching gay men have sex. Nor will they (I think) much enjoy watching even a handsome, buff guy masturbating.

I totally agree about the Barbie doll and the obvious faking. I happen to like Japanese videos to look at, but I have to turn off the sound-- Japanese porn sounds like a chipmunk getting pushed through a wood chipper.

A lot of compulsive actions are a real challenge to the philosophical idea of free will. An alcoholic goes through a long process-- begging for money, walking to a liquor store, buying some wine, putting it in a bottle, finding a place to drink it, etc. And while some addicts DO manage to intervene and change their behaviors, most do not.

An an individual level, we can fault people for not having the strength of will to change their behavior. But over a whole population, we know that if people have access to acohol, a percentage of them are going to become alcoholics. And if enough men have access to females in vulnerable circumstances, a percentage of them are going to commit rape.

Show me any culture in which women are not raped. If no men in a culture had the predisposed inclination toward rape, then there would not have been any mechanism by which rape could become part of any culture. Therefore, "at least some men are genetically inclined to commit rape," and rape cannot be an exclusively cultural artifact.
