RE: Thoughts on Women, Oppression and Porn

in #steem9 years ago (edited)

I'm pondering what @nanzo-scoop is saying in his last comment because I do think that, at first blush, if the average women came to Steemit and found it a raging pool of dudes beating off to women, they'd be less likely to return. At the same time, the idea that women don't like porn, that they don't enjoy it, etc, is a complete fallacy. BUT that does bring up the fact that only certain types of porn are likely to be rewarded. For example, it's demonstrable and proven that many women prefer gay porn over straight porn for various reasons (that I could make a post about but it would likely be down voted). However, a woman who uploaded some gay porn here to this predominately straight, dude-bro culture is pretty much guaranteed to have her porn preference voted down immediately by a Steem Whale. (I mean, all I posted was an essay about gay tv characters and it got down voted! I can't imagine the reaction to gay porn in this hardcore hetero male environment!) And, so, as long as the Steem Power is in heterosexual dude bro's hands, then the porn that would be valued here would be the exact same porn that is already valued everywhere else. It's a conundrum.
