Porn does not care about equality or anything like that.

Doesn't mean it's all unequal. If you prefer porn that's more equal, then there's plenty of material out there. I don't exactly get aroused by degrading content either. Besides, since when does any cultural expression have to conform to an equality agenda?

"Do you think [degrading content] is bad? Should it be discouraged?" Yes.
 
To answer an earlier question from you, no, I don't think that you're not able to tell the difference from reality. You acted like I was accusing you of doing all sorts of things which I wasn't doing.

One noticeable effect of porn is that whenever many people see pictures of women on the internet (whether it's an ad or someone's wife or sister), they see a sex object to compare. The fact is that american society portrays women as sex symbols far more than they do men (although I think this is changing), and porn acts as a catalyst for the perpetuation of that sexism.
 
Porn is fiction, just like Aliens or Predator or whatever. Still, I haven't heard people scream foul when they see those movies. It's just that it touches our instincts more since it's more personal.

Who should decide what's degrading or not? I prefer the free speech philosophy. Everyone have the right to produce any material they want, but noone's forced to consume it.
