There was absolutely no need to include the stupid fake feminist take. Plenty of women and plenty of feminists also oppose porn.

The problem with onlyfans and chaturbate and others is that there are a lot of serious criminal activities that the creators might be engaged in. Anything from the creator stating they are over age when they are a minor, to full blown sex slavery where girls are held and forced to perform against their will. So it is understandable that people are wary of getting into that mess.

The same fake feminist spewing bullshit about men keeping sex workers down, will very quickly accuse the same men of profiting from sex slavery or child porn if they had invested in these platforms.

Indeed, this notion of "men are anti-porn" seems very antithetical to my lived experience.
"Men" as such are never anti- or pro- anything.

There's endless lines of division among "men". Some men want to keep the "flow" of sex under control and don't like when sex is "handed out" too easily to men they don't see as worthy.

Some other men like the deal if they operate the business like a pimp or porn producer.

Consumer men may like it because they feel they can't satisfy their urges in other ways or they don't feel like the "real deal" is worth the effort and risk in comparison to these substitutes.

There are also men who just cheer on the empowered self-actualizing women to do what they desire to express their sexuality freely.

"Men" includes Rocco Siffredi, your local pastor, the loser nerdy virgin, the strict traditional father figure, a Christian wait-until-marriage boy, the nofap evangelist, etc. etc.

Right, I just have a disagreement with the notion the article peddles that women are somehow better, that this is a "man issue."
