(3,231 posts)Honed from years of listening to increasingly desperate defenses of porn from the internet:
The ones most invested in defending porn from all of us oh-so-powerfull women who would pry their porn from their carpal tunnel wracked fingers are so invested in berating, shaming and demeaning those of us with a different opinion do it because they know it's flat out harmful and wrong.
The KNOW they are contributing to the abuse of women culturally, physically and mentally. They, on a deep, down to their core level actually know and understand this. But if they don't whistle past the graveyard as loudly as they can, it may sneak up on them and they can no longer deny the knowledge.
If it weren't so tied into their self-image, why would they give a damn what we (and other humans that think porn takes a real toll on living, breathing humans) think.
So that's my theory. Probably incoherent, but there you have it.
