How can we criticize pornography when the women who perform choose to be involved?
StopPornCulture! does not condemn women who perform in the industry; we support all women and recognize the cultural context in which they make choices. We recognize that many women are under a variety of constraints such as economic hardship and a perceived lack of options. Research also suggests that a disproportionate percentage of the women who perform in the sex industry were sexually abused as children, which often leads women to see their primary value as providing sexual pleasure for men. We are critical of the industry that exploits these women, not the women themselves.
