(41,921 posts)And porn still sucks--pardon the pun, but the blatant racism is fouler that the objectification of women these days. But it doesn't always have to suck, it doesn't always have to be racist and sexist. Society has to move forward and grow up, so to speak and porn will follow.
Interestingly, one of my daughters took a class in Art history and learned about French art, for example, where men were depicted doing something and women were painted to be looked at. We got into a discussion about pornographers and she was thinking that the French were just the worst ever. I asked her if she had seen historical Japanese porn. She hadn't.
My point being this isn't just a western problem or idea in any way.(as you know) Objectification crosses cultures which is why it's so hard to point fingers at, identity and separate healthy expressions of sexuality from the unhealthy.
And American/western/modern racism, is a horrid disease that affects everything.
