The argument about coercion I'm familiar with is a Marxist one that has to do with workers rights and the capitalist economy. Amazingly, some deluded people think women are as important as Walmart workers. Yeah, cause Walmart workers are choosing to go hungry this Thanksgiving and have to scrounge up donations for their Thanksgiving table, just like some women choose to be raped and beaten on camera to satisfy rape fantasists. They are free-wage workers in the capitalist economy. Their choice is exploitation or starvation. The coercion that propels them to take on that work is economic, whereas some others who also appear in porn are coerced by extra-economic forces, like enslavement or debt peonage. It's basic Marxist analysis with women mixed in.
Or is your post one of those cases of someone lacking the wherewithal to engage in a discussion about the actual subject matter so has instead chosen to distort the argument in order to entertain the peanut gallery?
