There's some porn which depicts women being degraded. I hate that stuff and the fact that young boys can so easily access it.
But, some women and probably more men get off on it. There's a market for it.
Anyway, I don't see how two women kissing and going at it is degradation of women if the women performing are adults and doing it willingly (for an audience of men, women, or both).
What I mean is when men deliberately create pornography not for erotic purposes, but to make women look bad and degrade them. Or even pretend rape them and get rough with them, or just stupid shit and it impacts on all of us as a movement and as a gender as a whole. If a woman is mutilated and she dies in Egypt it affects all of us, and we should not turn our back on what is happening to women around the world.
The negative false stereotype that is perpetuated by these images give men permission to exclude us from boardrooms and diminish our voice and yes even attack us. It's hard yakka being a woman.
