Though
I am certainly not the arbiter
of who is/isn't a good feminist,
nor is anyone for that matter,
I can offer my own perspective,
which is that as long as your
desires don't hurt other people
- i.e. as long as the pornography
that turns you on seems to be
by/about people who are consciously
making decisions to be pornographed,
then your "hobby" isn't bad.
The
problem enters when your purchasing
of pornography is on the backs
of other women - i.e. when you
indirectly or directly support
an industry or specific company
that is harmful/hurtful to women.
And this rule would apply to
any industry as well, not just
pornography. For instance, recently
sweatshop labor has made it's
way into the news and certainly
supporting some companies means
supporting these companies'
underpayment of women. We have
to choose our own battles and
sometimes those collide with
other people's priorities. I
hope that makes sense.
