They use identical arguments and logic as to what fundies use in the effort to infantalize women, deny adult women choice, sexual agency and control of their own bodies, etc.

I'm sure, again, many think they "mean well" but again,the implication that anyone on THIS side of the "debate" supports non-consent, or anything like that.. Its offensive. There is NO evidence of widespread non consent in porn, beyond the yowling from the usual uspects that "it MUST be so"

Yes, we are coming into an election. I would think that the way to avoid "division" would be for certain people to stop continually trying to antgonize the vast majority of the rest of us here over an issue that has been hashed and rehashed repeatedly. Porn pisses off a few people, most dont have a problem with it, and it isn't going away.

Matter settled.
