How can I reconcile the fact that I still cry real tears while watching 'E.T.' with the delight I take in the deliberate cruelty and sexual humiliation enacted upon female human beings in pornography?

I might be the only adult that I know who has never seen E.T.

Basically 'Old Yeller' crossed with 'Wizard of Oz'. Happy/bittersweet ending. Drew Barrymore was about 6, so probably pre-booze and drugs.

Probably for the same reason some women like, or don't mind pornography. It's all tribal. A woman who is relatively well off, or creative, or intelligent, isn't usually bothered by porn because she (and her friends) will never have to perform in it.

Depends. I wouldn't say well off women are more likely to be okay with porn, upper class women are often prudish, as part of the WASP culture. Well educated women, perhaps, depends when and how they were educated.

Yeah, I see your point, but I think there is a lot of class signalling going on, at least with women when it comes to porn. With men it's less conscious, but it's still there.

Is the suggestion that women in pornography are lowlife whores whose lot in life is to endure this sort of treatment to satiate the vile lusts in the hearts of men?

No. The suggestion is that most of the audience perceives them as lowlifes, or low enough on the socio-economic totem pole that nobody cares how the performer really feels about her job.

Of course, some people in the audience have a more enlightened view of the business and recognize that the performers are kink positive, free spirits. Hello Gia!

Give simp a bigger bottle of gin.

Do rich women prefer euro porn like Durcel over our gonzo white trash parade? (texas tattoos over navels and droppin fucking loads)

The suggestion that class trumps the sisterhood is upsetting. I remember a bit in 'Eyes Wide Shut' at the orgy when one of the masked hoi polloi nod at Tom Cruise while they are all overlooking the circle of hookerflesh. Clearly a man and wife couple, and the wife's mask has a tear painted on it.

For fucks sake Windy. E.T. was a loveable alien. Women are demons spawns from hell. Get it?

Bellum omnium contra omnes.
