"In fact, the very purpose of porn is the degradation of women!"
Umm, no. The point is to stimulate the viewer sexually. Every culture in history has had horny artists drawing cave boobs on the wall or writing dirty limericks in Pompeii before the volcano blew.

That's a prehistoric carving of lady bits, BTW...
"Porn teaches that the surest way to bring a woman to orgasm is by ejaculating on her face, and her climax will be even more intense if she's kneeling at the time. Porn teaches that the #1 goal of any "real" woman is giving pleasure to men. Porn teaches that fucking a woman's mouth while her arms dangle at her sides---so that she's not even actively participating in what's being done to her---is hot."
As someone who grew up with porn, the average person knows that's bullshit. Porn =/= real life.
"And then there are the "actresses" who may or may not be of legal age, simulated rape, suggestions of pedophilia, etc. And 90% of porn scenarios end with the male in control, "winning" his encounter with the female."
You watch weird porn, dude...
This discussion reminds me of back in the early 90s when Republicans in my rural area tried to shut down Skin-emax and ban Hustler from the behind the counter in the run-down convenience store. Why? Because it's easier to "fix" porn than the poverty forcing 75 percent of kids in the local school on free lunches in order to, you know, eat a hot meal occasionally ... or the active Klan group in the area.
Sorry, Charlie. I'm a Democrat, and I support the free flow of artistic expression. If a director wants to have six chicks and one dick to express his artistic desires, and there's seven adults getting paid to to it, I'm all for it.
