"The idea that pornography is intrinsically exploitative and sexist is bizarre: pornography is just "some fucking", after all. The act of having sex isn't sexist so there's no way pornography can be, in itself, inherently misogynist. So no. Pornography isn't the problem. Strident feminists are fine with pornography. It's the porn industry that's the problem. The whole thing is as offensive, sclerotic, depressing, emotionally bankrupt and desultory as you would expect a widely unregulated industry worth, at an extremely conservative estimate, $30 billion to be. No industry ever made that amount of money without being superlatively crass and dumb. But you don't ban things for being crass and dispiriting. If you did, we would have to ban the Gregg's Mega Sausage Roll first - and we would have a revolution on our hands. No. What we need to do is effect a 100 per cent increase in the variety of pornography available to us. Let's face it: the vast majority of porn out there is as identikit and mechanical as fridge-freezers rolling off a production line. And there are several reasons why this is bad for everyone - men and women equally."
