29. My guess is
he's worried you're going to try to take away his right to watch porn.

The supposition seems to be that porn always equals "freedom" and that authoritarians never tolerate or promote porn. Never mind that the Nazis mass produced anti-Semitic porn as a way both to entice people into antiSemitism, and get off while they were doing it. Julius Streicher and Der Sturmer are the best known examples of this, but I'm sure there are others.

Your observation that authoritarians often treat women as "sexual clowns, servants..." is spot on. Claudia Koonz wrote a book called "Mothers in the Fatherland" about the role and status of women and girls in Nazi Germany that you might find interesting.

Best wishes.
