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

[SolemnBoy]

In Sweden, a group of feminists actually managed to create a government-financed series of hardcore pornography. I can't speak for the majority of feminists but I personally don't think most of them are against pornography itself but rather the way it tends to play out. Women (and to a lesser extent men) are objectified onscreen and portrayed more or less as cockhungry sex machines that don't mind being fucked mercilessly again and again, having sperm shot all over their faces, placed on their knees and humiliated and whatnot whilst the dialogue can contain pretty... ahem, degrading words.

Now, I don't want to outlaw this kind of pornography or anything, but of course it creates problems in the way consumers, particularly young ones, view women and sex. I remember back in 4th or 5th grade where the boys in my class started getting into porn. Most of them started saying things like "I can't wait for college where you can fuck all the sluts you want" and they always wondered why the bodies of our classmates were so "ugly" in comparison to the pornstars they saw. Flatchested girls were bullied mercilessly.

I have more experience with gay porn though and it can be pretty degrading at times. However, any feminist who'd say "I want to ban pornography for being degrading, but not gay pornography involving men because no women are involved in that" would be a complete hypocrite and frankly not a very good feminist.

Also, gay porn creates false expectations too... like how clean and problemfree anal sex is.

I have no idea what you think feminism is, but it can be defined as "Belief in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes and the movement organized around this belief".

It's got nothing to do with placing men on piedestals or women wanting to be like men.

They don't want us watching gay porn when we could be watching lesbian mud wrestling.
