Why do anti-porn feminists want to ban gay porn?

[Arkansota]

It does not harm women.

I guess it's because they like to have a consistent view regardless of gender of the model/porn star.

Personally I find the "porn harms women/men by objectification" issue to be overblown, but that's my opinion.

I think it's more about 'porn culture' rather then the actual porn itself. These anti-porn feminist see porn as degrading light of the actors...regardless of gender. They see it as exploitative and wrong. Though many strong feminist figures actually keeps pretty quiet from the gay porn topic.

I like my porn...

Who says they do?

Do they? :confused:

I haven't kept up with them in many years, but those who go so far as to fight in crusade against porn & prostitution seem to ignore males sexually exploited or even raped (kudos to the one rape helpline that reaches out to both male helpers and male victims).

However, these types often band together with Christian fundamentalists in common cause and once some laws get passed (typically favoring the Christian Right) then the laws are pushed to target ALL porn...ironically, laws against obscenity pushed by feminists that got passed were then used to ban books by the very feminists who had a hand in getting them past (I believe Mary Daly was one such example, and some of her books graphically describing rape got banned under the law she promoted along with the Christian fundies who used it to ban her message, one reason some feminists have become defenders of free expression including porn).

I'm sure feminists who have thought this through wouldn't necessarily put a blanket ban on all porn. I'm sure they also realise that it's a livelihood for some people... but they're not always wrong about the exploitation of women (mostly because they're more vulnerable, generally) and anyone who is exploited that way. It doesn't all stem from puritanical thinking.
