"I recently saw a report that boys aged 9-14 "
BOYS? If women didn't participate, there would be no "porn". Do the women performing become murderers?
I agree it's gone too far, but it's a 50/50 degradation. Why do so many hundreds of thousands of women degrade themselves daily in porn movies, strip clubs, escort services, street walking?
They call Sharon Stone a "movie star" when she gets banged by Michael Douglas in Basic Instinct, yet strippers who don't get touched are considered whores.
The whole thing is a mess of culture.
Many women are no more enlightened than many men--it isn't a sex-linked trait.
But face it, men lead this stuff off, they are the patrons overwhemlingly--the women involved are weak, stupid and mostly from abused situations. A special I saw recently spoke of the number of runaways and addicts in this stuff.
And if they're not already addicted, their "producers" are happey to get them strung out to get more "product" out of them. NOT a victimless crime.
Too many of these lost, damaged women want to please the 'man'--looking for 'Daddy'--and they'll sell everything for that. Human throwaways.
Very sad but all the more reason that the good men of this world need to stand up and become the best they can be and disavow this stuff.
