It was about 20 years ago that I first met a woman who believed that all pornography was inherently sexist. At first I didn't understand her point, but through discussion, she helped me to see that from her perspective, anything that depersonalizes the ideally emotional and empathy fueled act of sexual affection only works to encourage the idea that women are things to be possessed and not people to be related with.
I wasn't going to tell her she was wrong, because that wouldn't have done much to help either of us get much wiser to what pornography can or can't be. Instead, we ended up looking into the subject together. After watching a few movies like The Opening of Misty Beethoven and the pornographic musical version of Alice in Wonderland, we both saw the topic in a different light. She began to draw a line between "pornography" and "erotic stories with explicit sex scenes", and I came to the conclusion that "Ripe mango, take two" is probably the last thing you ever want to say while performing oral sex on someone.
I wonder what my old friend would think of Udon's Street Fighter Swimsuit Special?
