Connor, the reason this is sexist is because a womans bady/ the experience of being female is a comodity to most people. The people that decided this was a good idea (freespeech whatever they say) can not relate to the experience of having their being comodified. Since time immemoriale women have been sold simply because they were born with a vagina, or oppressed. Women are ALWAYS seen as women first (ie, sexual beings, dolls, something to intice men) and human beings second. Alan, the problem with saying "these porn women - what about their choice" is the same. Even male porn stars cannot relate to the fact that women have always been objects. It's the same as not recognizing the economic servitude many African Americans still feel they are under. (And surely that is not something anyone is still trying to overlook, is it?)
I personally think Connor and Alan know that this was wrong. They must. It's so obvious.
I am a feminist because I am a human! And a woman, a mother, a daughter, and a sister. Because I care about full equality for all beings now!
