“ I don’t agree with the widespread division between porn and erotic films in which the term ‘porn’ refers to male goods which are hardcore, explicit, filthy, rude, degrading to women, and the term ‘erotic films’ refers to female goods which are romantic, implicit, sterile, soft, and not degrading to women. I think that this division often presents another stereotype saying women want romance, men want sex. I think that the rise of adult entertainment for women in recent years proves that women want sex, they want hardcore.

This is an excellent quote but also a shout-out to my bud Beth-o for defending porn-watching women to some boys perpetuating the “Guys watch porn, women read romance novels!” BS. You go, girl!
