While she may be batshit crazy in most respects, Miley Cyrus is actually making sense here; compares guys watching porn to girls " '...watching romance movies. That’s girl porn, because, like, those guys do not exist.' ”

Miley doesn't seem batshit to me.

The whole new look seems like a calculated publicity stunt. I see very little reckless behavior in the press. It's all photo shoots and professional events. Just because she's nekkid and is going with a bit of a counter-culture style doesn't imply that she's bonkers.

In fact, she seems like she's in control.

As to the main point: the idea that women hate porn is just more policing of male sexuality. Rape, as a crime, has declined since the internet. Don't know if there's causation, but it certainly correlates with the introduction of internet porn.

If we listened to some of the feminists out there, you'd think the fact that porno was readily available always (mobile internet browsers) would have people raping everything all the time. Doesn't seem to be the case, given that almost all violent crime has plummeted in recent years.

Basically half the story in Don Jon. Scarlett Johansson's bit

Maybe she's been reading Warren Farrell who made that point twenty years ago in The Myth of Male Power although he referred to romance novels not movies.

I'd compare it more to literotica, but it's a good point.

Wait... pornstars don't exist?

As a dude who has watched a lot of both porn and romance movies...

Romance movies fucked me up a MILLION times more than did porn.

My standards for physical appearance never raised an inch, and I can confidently say that they probably even LOWERED the more I watched porn.

However, the portrayals of the nice, romantic guy getting the girl in the end RUINED me. Took years to undue that brainwashing.

There are romantic guys out there. Passionate men that would do all those things those men in the romance movies do. Problem is that they typically aren't the ones women go for. For a guy to be as selfless and devoted as the guys in the romance movies tend to be, he would have to put a lot of effort into just one women. The smaller fraction of guys that girls typically go for don't really need to put in that much effort into it to begin with. Those guys already have their pick. The average guys, on the other hand, who might do all those things will just find that it's either not appreciated and not reciprocated.

She's not batshit crazy. She's just a 21 year old, whose entire life has been in the spotlight, with more money than she could ever spend.

Er... wait a minute. She probably is batshit crazy.

I heard about this, and I agree with you. Cyrus is onto something -- maybe it's like the broken clock being right twice a day.

For some reason though porn that appeals to women gets a pass when discussing the horrors of porn on society.

2014-02-04T06:24:05+00:00

I don't agree. I don't watch porn to feel a certain way or simply entertain myself. It's a pretty utilitarian sort of thing for me. I think the analogy is poor.

She's watching the wrong romance movies.
