"And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.."
-Luke 6:31
Women are great at ruminating on how they want people treating them, and they excel at putting themselves in other women's shoes; "if I were a former pornwhore, I would want people giving me hope and acceptance." Of course, this rumination often gets spun into interesting exceptions when people they know are in the mix: "if I were a former pornwhore, I would want people giving me hope and acceptance. But not if I were Rebecca, that slag deserves everything she gets." Hypocrisy is very common here, held in secret.
Men, on the other hand, can get stuck on the "do unto others" part: "We should castigate former pornwhores." Our instinct is to lay down the rules of action without asking ourselves whether we want the same thing happening to us. "We should castigate pornwhores... Hey, why is everyone castigating my girlfriend for her past indiscretions???" Also hypocritical, but different in the sense that we're surprised when our rules are used on us.
The silliness of mankind is found either in our solipsism (women) or believing ourselves to be above even our own rules (men). When the occasional debate happens over former pornwhores, we find ourselves unable to examine the circumstances *as they are* lest we find ourselves repenting of our hypocrisy. We point to the pornwhore and shriek so that we don't have to ask what we ourselves are doing.
I believe every young woman should have to read through the thousands of comments and arguments where this sort of thing happens. Every time. She should be made to wade through all the nonsense, and then it'll be clear to her that she should never do porn, lest she be made the center of yet another stupid online debate.
