But it is porn, what else are men in porn going to use women for?
I'm not arguing that that the industry is abusing women (maybe back in the seventies, certainly not now). Just that the images themselves and how it is structured is pretty sexist. But I think this is the one domain however, where sexism can in fact flourish seeing as how it is porn we're talking about. Everything is acted out, nobody is hurt, and the viewer knows beforehand what he will be watching. That and porn is about seeing sexual desire come to life. You can't repress that stuff, better it come out in porn than in reality.
I just think viewership should be strictly limited to adults. Children should be forming their first impressions of sex from schools rather than learning it first from porn.

They can't make up their mind on the matter without first learning about it under a balanced environment, in this case school. It's like learning how to drive by watching NASCAR racing, you have to go through the driving instruction courses first.
PS:
dradeel, it wasn't your English it was just me being presumptuous about the whole paedophile thing. My apologies.
