Reply #45: Well, for some, it is absolutely a power thing.

But I've found that most guys who are heavily into porn and strip clubs were losers who aren't getting any anyway. They are generally angry at women because of that fact. And, yes, because of that they will get off on the most degrading porn vids as a way of feeling powerful. Quite frankly I don't think it helps these guys because reality always sets in, they have no power, they are impotent and it makes them angrier.

I do think that porn can certainly shape the way men think of women and it's almost never in a positive way. And I agree that all the gang bang, bukake, DP shit serves no real purpose other than to cater to the sickos. The idea of a woman as an object or fuck toy is an adolescent mindset. Anyone who thinks that way as an adult has a serious problem.

I think your vasectomy legislation idea is a clever way to point out how important the abortion issue is. The outrage of the men in the country over such a proposition itself would be hilarious and would really bring the point home. I just could never see something like that ever brought up seriously in Congress or a state House.
