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.
I agree with your point A, but not with point B.

What is more empowering for a woman to be able to say YES (or NO) when somebody says "hey baby lets shag".

I also donīt see how you come to the conclusion that there is a lot of pornography out there that is very non-conscious?

About the violence, there is a market for it, a lot of people like it, therefor it is made. As long as it is a fantasy, not reality, I donīt see the problem.

I think porn is all about woman empowerment. Owning your own body and deciding what to do with it, based on what you want, not what society tells you.
