2	Article: The men who believe porn is wrong You make an insightful point that industry practices follow money, not the absence of money. That's really interesting, and something that has me thinking. The term "boycott" may have been inappropriate on my part, in that I didn't intend to insinuate any concrete intent to change the industry's practices. While by withdrawing my business from the porn industry I - to some degree - hope to reduce the amount of capital available to invest into an industry whose practices, on the whole, I don't su…	/r/MensRights	27/10/10 01:15 PM
1	Article: The men who believe porn is wrong I agree, actually. I personally believe, however, that the baby to bathwater ratio in the porn industry, contrasted with the potential gains from viewing pornography, wholly merit an industry boycott until the industry's employment standards can be improved.	/r/MensRights	27/10/10 10:18 AM
1	Article: The men who believe porn is wrong You can see that I addressed this better in one of my other replies, and that I admit I worded it poorly. To reiterate, the self gratification which is the end goal of the vast majority of pornography users is not in itself bad, just dangerously self-centered. I would consider it as being along the same lines as drugs and alcohol, or better yet, using drugs and alcohol alone.	/r/MensRights	27/10/10 10:10 AM
2	Article: The men who believe porn is wrong OK late response: I'll try to keep this brief. I don't shop at Wal-Mart because they don't provide reliable insurance for their employees. Or reliable maternity leave. Or reasonable job security for part-time employees. Also, their manufacturing plants overseas have very poor labor rights and human rights records. Ok. I'm going to stick with the Shady Industry that I shouldn't support bit for now. To clarify, there are certainly adult entertainers that lead healthy, productive lives and contribu…	/r/MensRights	26/10/10 11:54 PM
2	Article: The men who believe porn is wrong Man, I'll totally respond after work. I'm actually very interested in discussing this. My other response in this thread may clarify a few of my positions until then. Unfortunately, I'll probably get downvoted into oblivion before I have the chance to respond intelligibly.	/r/MensRights	26/10/10 01:16 PM
7	Article: The men who believe porn is wrong I am inclined to disagree with your disagreement, er... you know what I mean. This one may be a bit rushed - I'm at work =[ It's arguable whether minimum wage earners working menial jobs are under equally bad conditions as some porn actresses. It's not arguable that say, sweatshop workers are. Hence, I won't buy from Nike. I'm inclined to believe that non-careerist porn actresses indeed suffer from some feeling of a loss of self worth from having published material depicting them in sexual acts.…	/r/MensRights	26/10/10 01:05 PM
2	Article: The men who believe porn is wrong I actually agree with many of the sentiments expressed in this article. Pornography is a very big gray area in terms of morality. I tend to classify it as mostly destructive. Here are some of my own thoughts: A shady industry: Pornography professionals often hire actresses that are financially, situationally or culturally at a disadvantage. This is clearly not always the case. Still, I'd rather not help to create a market which is often served at the expense of others. Objectification of women: …	/r/MensRights	26/10/10 11:53 AM
0	Discrimination against men at a bar: is this legal? It's obviously not legal. Equality is a ridiculously sticky business, though. As long as gender polarized sexuality norms exist, some level of inequality will exist as well. In itself, I don't find that particularly troubling. I don't mind, too much, being asked to step off of the stage for instance. Or even being asked to pay for drinks when "Ladies drink for free Thursdays." What's frustrating is that the push for equality isn't actually a push for equality, it's a push for the best of both wo…	/r/MensRights	08/08/10 02:32 PM
