Of course all types of porn should be defended, but if you have the option of using porn created by college-educated, non drug addicted, non sexually abused women who have other career opportunities & still choose to create their own brand of personally enjoyable porn, who control all aspects of its creation & who profit directly from it, why the hell wouldn't you? It just seems like a no brainer to me.
I don't think Trixie or Furrygirl are saying that their brand of indie porn is superior or that the standard porn flicks don't have merit. I know I personally enjoy watching some rather raunchy stuff that a lot of women would consider degrading. But just because I enjoy it doesn't mean I should use it in an argument to defend porn!

The thing that I wonder about this thread is the following...are we trying to get porn socially accepted or are we trying to show how the government is infringing upon basic freedoms.
I'm not a slick marketing type guy, but if I was trying to get people to support my cause I would be wrapping it in the most palatable pill imaginable.
If someone came up to me and said write an argument on this topic for the average person I would hammer home almost nothing about porn itself, but instead discuss freedoms of speech, expression, etc. Most Americans wouldn't openly admit they support porn or even accept porn, but tell them the government is infringing on their freedoms and not only will they back it, they'll be foaming at the mouth mad to back it.
American's on the whole are brainwashed little patriots deep down, hammer home that your freedoms are being taken away, you'll get action. If you try to make them socially accept porn it'll be doomed.
