Females, both minor and adult, access porn on the internet too, not only boys.

This woman is prejudiced.

@helpforpornaddicts That is a labor issue and not a reason to stop porn. Even if she or he goes into a situation like that they can still refuse nobody has to be a porn star. If the scene they go to looks like it is to much then maybe porn is not a career they should choose. besides the women have the real power in the porn industry so no girl has to worry about doing scene she does not want to do.

@helpforpornaddicts Women are not subjugated by men they are bond to their cultural reality just like the men in their society. Women who lived in these societies have choose the life for their daughters for whatever reason. To view it as a male imposed system is simply false all culture are a result of choices that both men and women have decided in the past. while ethnic minorities do not usually have choice in how others view them for they are a separate cultural entity.

@smoothbrother69 You say women choose to be subjigated? When someone is attacked with a slur, racist or sexist, they are insulted, regardless or whether it is xenophobic or sexist, it is an insult. Black women have to contend with both sexism and racism.

@smoothbrother69 we're not talking about not wanting to do BJs, were talking about someone turning up to do a scene with one guy and have to do 25.I do agree with you that it is still their choice, but, performers should be informed about what they are hired to do, then there wont be any need for having to bully them into doing the scene.

@helpforpornaddicts the bathroom could be fired for not performing the job. First of all women live in cultural system that have been chosen by the particular group of people in that society. These societies are made up of both men and women. In order to evaluate gender roles you need to take a holistic look at the culture. No Bitch and Cunt are not the same as racial slurs. xenophobia is fundamental aspect of human nature sexism is not. Sexism is a cultural creation.

[smoothbrother69]

@helpforpornaddicts physically and emotionally yes but told she will never work again is okay.If a girl wants to make some money for a scene she has to do things she may not want to do. That is why it is work. There are plenty of things I have to do on my job that I hate but I want money I have to do it. It is the same in the sex industry if a girl is offered money to do a bj and she doesn't then the company has the right to fire her. just like if a server who wont clean the

@helpforpornaddicts It is no longer legal to have signs that say 'no blacks or irish allowed (i have an irish background btw) but there are still establishments that say no women allowed.It took empathy from white people to understand the effects of racism and help to change things, even though they werent' directly affected. it will take empathy from men (of every race) to understand the effects sexism has, even though it doesn't directly affect them.

[helpforpornaddicts]

@smoothbrother69 this is the most innacurate thing I have ever heard! Women are subjigated over the world, forced to have their clitoris cut off and their vagina sown up. They have no rights to legal recourse, to divorce or to even work. In the west, women's pay is still on the whole 20% lower than a male/ And words like Whore, Bitch and Cunt are as offensive as Nigger, Coon and Wog. People needed to be educated to undertand the harm racism caused, - sexism causes the same harm.

[helpforpornaddicts]

@smoothbrother69 the child becomes the adult and that harmed adult may go on to hurt another child. It is physically, as well as emotionally harmful to a child to have sex b4 they are old enough to do it. Let me see where we are on the same page: No performer shoud be coerced, forced or threatened (physically emotionally financially, told she will never work again) into doing a scene. Woiuld you agree?
