I don’t understand how women being adult film stars is empowering. To me it’s basically them saying “no, I am just an object for you to buy and drool over” because that’s what they’re doing. They’re selling their bodies. And if it leaks it’s not even that

I’ve just heard women and feminists make the argument that it’s empowering because they’re making money from doing it. But I just don’t get that at all. They’re degrading themselves and doing these things for men’s pleasure in the end. And if it’s leaked, then the men don’t even have to pay any money. They get to see their whole bodies and everything with just a flex of their fingers and don’t have to give anything in return. I don’t understand how it’s empowering at all

Exactly! I’m a man and I just feel like it’s grasping at straws. It’s not empowering. It’s bending the knee to men and the patriarchy because you need money. It reminds me of that one scene from The Office where Jan is breastfeeding out in the open and Kevin is watching her. Jan eventually gives up and says “you know what Kevin, you can go ahead and watch because this is totally natural” and then Kevin says “ok” and he continues to just stare at her. And then Creed joins in.

And eventually Jan gets uncomfortable. So in the end she just gave them what they wanted. They didn’t care, they got what they came for. It’s the same concept. “Oh well you’re paying us money” oh well you’re putting a price on your body. The people who pay don’t care about that. If they did they wouldn’t be there in the first place. It’s not for you—it’s for them. You’re tricking yourself into believing it’s empowering. It isn’t. It’s the opposite.

It’s a lose-lose then. Unless you’re making literal BANK you’re losing your dignity for nothing. That’s out there forever, for your kids, your family, forever. When you’re old and withered at 82, it’ll still be there. And then will it really be worth it?

AT LEAST with prostitution that’s actual sexual acts. That’s a little different because that’s real. The men are also involved. With this it’s just a fat slob sitting on his couch scrolling through your reels and not having to do anything.
