"Fetishized abuse is the whole point of pornography."

I Blame The Patriarchy: "In fact, it has been suggested that the only possible result of the juxtaposition of human and animal exploitation on a porn site is the eroticization of animal torture. To be sure, this contingency is considerably less remote than the screwy idea that pornography, which is itself abuse, can actually stop abuse. Pornography, in fact, is the antithesis of “ethical treatment”. It relies for its existence on violence against women. As such it appeals directly to its consumer’s abusiveness. Fetishized abuse is the whole point of pornography."

This excellent piece is occasioned by PETA's evident intention to launch a porn site to press its case.

When you train your sights on non-profits you find the same fallibility you discover when you examine corporations and government. In all three sectors it comes down to individuals and how power is allocated and used. The Internet enables a closer and more democratic look at all institutions and should result in a more balanced view of human nature and social fallibility.
