One of the reasons the violent, anti woman pornography (and I'd put the "stupid cow" paradigm into the overall predatory male pornography) is so popular is that it's one of the few places men can live up to that macho stereotype of the dominant, lone male controlling everything and everyone around him. Real life is too messy for that and there's no way to live up to any of those male stereotypes. Men are going to get very threatened when this junk is threatened.

Videos like this one might cause the more astute of them to start questioning what they're seeing and once the questioning starts, the stereotype doesn't have a chance.
