The exploitation of woman is a real problem. But you'd be hard-pressed to find a lot of medical professionals who are entirely against porn. Unless you're actually having an addiction, there is nothing wrong with porn. Just make sure you get it from the right sources.
Not what I said. All I said is that no professional prescribes pornography as any sort of medical advice and the prevailing attitude towards pornography in the medical world is to encourage people to consume it as a little as possible and limit exposure of it from teenagers and young adults. Coincidentally, these are by far the two largest consumer demographics of porn
Never heard of this 'prevailing attitude' and it does not make any sense either. What kind of harm could watching porn do to young adults and teens if it's something almost universally done by them for multiple generations? They mostly tuned out fine anyways, again excluding addicts.
Ah yes, the all important "prevailing attitude test" considered so important in diagnostic efforts. /s
Weird how these people care so much about women in porn being exploited but don't seem to care about the ones just being trafficked for sex that isn't filmed. Or child labor. Or the various migrants being trafficked and enslaved for non-secual labor around the world.
It's almost like they're grasping for socially-acceptable justification for hating something they don't like for non-socially-acceptable reasons...
What you're doing is called 'whataboutism'. Just because someone voiced an opinion about X doesn't mean they don't care about Y or Z.
Right, but the sudden onrush of """"concern"""" from a community who's rhetoric regarding women has been toxic in the past feels phony. You'd have a solid point in a formal debate but this isn't that. This is the real world where context matters and a community's prevailing attitudes are fair game for evaluating whether or not their arguments are made in good faith.
Ah, I missed that. Good catch!
What about U and V, and for that matter, W?
Yeah you got me, my comment was 100% in defence of human trafficking as long as it isn't being filmed. And... child labour? What kind of response is this?
