My 2c:
(a) There is nothing intrinsically wrong with pornography. i.e. pictures and film (etc.) that portray sexuality for the enjoyment of the viewer.
(b) A lot of pornography is disempowering to women. Some is overtly violent, some indicates that women will automatically agree to sexual propositions - no matter how crude or unwarranted ("Hey babe, let's shag", "Oooh, okay!").
In other words, a lot of the pornography out there is very non-conscious.
P.S. I too would be very interested to hear Steve's response.
