also the fact that porn is often embedded in some sort of daily scenario instead of at least just showing sexual acts should worry more people.

why do men need to see boss and employee? delivery guy/post man/whatever and woman home alone? or even worse, teacher and student? stepdad and stepdaughter?

it is not just about the arousal of watching sexual acts being performed, they need to see women being available at any time, they want to imagine themselves just „taking“ random women, even the women (and girls) closest to them. also notice how many times there is some type of authority involved?

makes you wonder how many men you encounter in daily situations, even within your family or friend circle, at work, when you order something, really dont see you as a woman, as a person, but as a mere object for their sexual fantasies.

especially considering how often these situations actually happen, and how often there is sexual assault involved.

Their minds are trained to seek an avenue of exploitation in every male/female interaction, and porn is exacerbating this enormously. They're the same brain rotted plague that have to inject porn references into any unrelated conversation. You can't discuss doing laundry without legions of coomers choking on their own spit laughing about dryers. And the libfems feebly trying to communicate that joking about raping your step sister stuck inside one isn't an appropriate conversation topic when discussing division of housework. They fall all over themselves trying not to offend them (I'm no kinkshamer! I'm not yucking your yum! Please don't yell at me!) are doing precisely nothing to combat the normalization of sexual violence. I'm sick of all the tiptoeing around men's egos lately, I just shame the everloving fuck out of them without cushioning it with an apology
