Packaging abuse of women as entertainment for adults - Cruel, degrading
scenes `normalized' for generation brought up in dot-com world 1/26/08 Antonia
Zerbisias Living ColumnistAccording to the Internet Filter Review,
worldwide
porn revenues, including in-room movies at hotels, sex clubs and the
ever-expanding E-sex world, topped $97 billion in 2006. That's more than the
revenues of the top technology companies combined: Microsoft, Google, Amazon,
eBay,
Yahoo!, Apple, Netflix and EarthLinkEvery second, 28,258 Internet users
are viewing pornographyThat's a lot of women who, for whatever their
reasons, and most likely they are economic, are being torturedThere's a
huge
market for the domination of womenRobert Jensen, a journalism professor at
the University of Texas at Austin, has been tracking the trend for years. In
his new book Getting Off: Pornography and the End of Masculinity, he writes
with alarm about how the cruelty line in mass-market pornography is driving
up. At the same time, the normalization line – the measure of the
acceptance of pornography in the mainstream of contemporary culture – is also
up,
sharply. If pornography is increasingly cruel and degrading, why is it
increasingly commonplace instead of more marginalized? he writes. In a
society
that purports to be civilized, wouldn't we expect most people to reject sexual
material that becomes evermore (sic) dismissive of the humanity of women? How
do we explain the simultaneous appearance of more, and increasingly more
intense, ways to
humiliate women sexually and the rising popularity of the films that present
those activities? _http://www.thestar.com/printArticle/296391_
