I read the article Stop Porn Culture. I’m honestly going to have to say I disagree with the whole article. The very first line of that article is “Do you ever feel overwhelmed by pornography?” and I would answer no not at all. It’s not like porn is in my face all the time and I choose not to watch it, so it doesn’t overwhelm me at all. Pornography may have a slight contribution of how men see women sexually though. When men watch porn most get aroused so they want to experience it in their own sexual life, and that’s when the women come in hand. Men get this bad image in their head because pornography arouses them. It can be very degrading to some women, but men have to realize that not all women act the same. It impacts young men in a bad way though. In porn men are always the dominant ones and can just treat women however they want. Obviously this could potentially put the idea in young men’s heads that every woman works that way, that the man is always the controlling one. People just have to realize that the media sends out these ridiculous ideas and not everything is true. I’m sure many people would have to disagree with me on this one, but I think porn is so silly and I honestly can’t take it seriously
I agree that porn is silly, but just because we don't watch it does not mean that we don't have any part in it. Being a woman is a major involvement card here because when one woman is victimized because of porn then we all are. It could be any woman, we just weren't there that time. ya know what I mean? I am not sure that made sense, but I don't know how to describe it.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with you that it is not overwhelming. It all comes down to how you define pornography. The line between hardcore porn and mainstream media (film, TV, ads, etc.) is becoming less clear. These media are very pornified and put in everyone's face, including children. The average age of a boy's first exposure to internet porn is 11 years old. This is frightening, as children or adults should not be learning about sexuality from pornography.
ReplyDeleteYeah I understand where you both are coming from. I just assumed since I never hear about or watch it that it's not there. Clearly that's not the case, and agree people shouldn't be learning about sexuality from pornography. It's still silly to me, but it's still there and people still take it seriously.
