RAther than accepting porn as "normal" it might be of use to those who care to or are open minded to discover than porn hurts the women participating in it...as well as viewers of it.
This is where I disagree with you. One can find the same exploitation of women in film making, broadway, the music industry, anywhere that vulnerable women think they can get a boost to their self esteem (the same goes for men). But porn itself has nothing to do with why those exploited women are hurt. The porn industry is a magnet for these types of women, but it is not the cause of their problems.
I don’t see how you can claim that viewers are hurt by porn either. Viewers who exhibit addictive behavior or have relationship problems are that way because of other things, not because of looking at porn. I think your views are a little too close minded and perhaps you need to take a more objective view at what is troubling our society. Porn is the least of our problems.
I’ll even push this a little farther and stick my neck out, since I get the feeling you are very orthodox, conservative, God fearing…. I propose that the rigidity of the church (which I suspect you believe is the cure for this blight of porn) causes more damage to lost souls, ultimately pushing some of these into porn, than would otherwise be the case. If there were not such a contradiction between the largely pervasive views of the church regarding sex and the true feelings, instincts and natural impulses of people, I think there would be a lot less porn and sexual abuse and fewer pedophiles roaming the streets (and Sunday school) today.
