Maybe. Doesn't it depend on the woman? Doesn't it depend on the viewer? 
Isn't saying every woman is demeaned by porn just as prejudicial and 
objectifying as what the porn itself is said to do? Have you ever asked a 
porn star how she feels? Have you ever looked at porn either made for or 
by women? I'm not saying I'm shaking my pompoms for the porn industry. 
I'm not. I'm just saying this is not quite so simple an issue to classify 
and dismiss.



Apropos, take a look at the first letter in Dan Savage's column this 
week. I don't always agree with him in everything, but he makes some 
valid points this time 'round.
