Pornography exploits men, not women, says porn star

bandersnatch writes "From BBC News:

Many people argue that pornography is degrading and exploitative to women. But Michelle Thorne, who has worked in the porn industry for six years, does not agree. "I have never felt exploited. If anything it's giving you power over men. The only people exploited, if anyone is, are the men who go out and spend their money on porn," says the 26-year-old from Bristol. But Miss Thorne claims: "The people in this world who are really being exploited are those women in those countries where they have to cover up all the time and can't vote or anything. A woman's sexuality does give her power."

Her last sentence carries a deep resonance with me -- is it any surprise why feminists push for carte blanche privilege with their sexuality while constantly pushing for social / legal changes to keep a man's in check?"
