Women and porn

This is when I get mad at the hypocrisy of Christianity. A Christian is supposed to be a witness in their words, lifestyles and actions, and if someone who was struggling with the acceptance of Christ in their life saw this, they could say, "Hey! If that man who is a leader and a follower of God can judge people, so can I! To hell with what the Bible says I should do!"

He probably belongs to the same group of preps that would spit on the dorks and party all weekend and then attend church every Sunday. My little sister is almost exactly like the guy you are talking about. It's really annoying, but I keep reminding myself that not all Christians are like them.

The thing about some denominations of Christianity is that they will focus on some parts of the Bible and ignore other parts of the Bible in order to make their point. They used the Bible to justify slavery even though the Bible basically says in context that slavery is bad. They used the Bible against the Women's Movement in the 1900's by saying that women should be subservient to men. A similar thing is going on with homosexuality.

Heck, in the gnotsic books it claims that God will one day perform an "Ultimate Forgiveness". This is where God will look down into Hell and say, "Ok, you've been punished enough, you're free to come home." The entire Bible was built on the idea of chosing some books and rejecting other books. Yes, there were books that were rejected b/c there was no way they could've been credible, but there were other books--like the one mentioning the "Ultimate Forgiveness"--that were considered more credible than even Revelations, yet they didn't like the message it sent, so it wasn't included.

Quote:

The second part is ~ Jenna admitted she likes was she does as a porn star and was never coerced into it. Yet, so many women think that women who are strippers, porn stars, etc. are exploited. Yes, they can be by the unwilling, but there are many who like doing what they do. Why can't these women accept that some women like being hookers, porn stars and so on? Is it beyond their comprehension that a woman can think for herself?

Just some thoughts I had and wanted to know what you all thought.

I think some women are against it b/c of the whole feminism movement. Some think that women who parade themselves in front of men and act as though they are just a pair of breasts and a butt may destroy everything feminists have been fighting for: equality. However, third wave feminism has an argument about women using their sexuality in order to get ahead and while the second wave feminism disagree entirely and believe that women who do this sort of thing are destroying their rights to equality.

There's also the whole religious aspect of it where porn and hookers may promote different kinds of sin. The societal taboo regarding porn and hookers also affects the view of women toward other women who like to perform in porn.

Because I can't come up with any reasons in particular, besides lack of fulfilling labor.

My best guess would be b/c some people think it might promote actions such as masturbation and sex outside of marriage (which is considered taboo in some places/religions...yes there are regions where masturbation is considered to be bad). Also, some women feel that if their male partners watch porn then that means they are not attractive and they feel bad about themselves. Hence some of the crazy ramblings of, "You watch porn b/c you don't love me anymore! You don't think I'm pretty! You're cheating on me aren't you?!"

One rule of marriage that my dad and his buddies say to newlyweds: "If she ain't happy...you ain't happy."

Jam it back in, in the dark.
