These whores deserve to be dominated and abused. And once men have had their way with them, these whores are to be discarded. Porn glorifies the cruelty and domination of sexual exploitation in the same way popular culture, as Jensen points out, glorifies the domination and cruelty of war. It is the same disease. It is the belief that “because I have the ability to use force and control to make others do as I please, I have the right to use this force and control.” It is the disease of corporate and imperial power. It extinguishes the sacred and the human to worship power, control, force, and pain. It replaces empathy, eros, and compassion with the illusion that we are gods. Porn is the glittering façade, like the casinos and resorts of Las Vegas, like the rest of the fantasy that is America, of a culture seduced by death.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Chris Hedges" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/chris-hedges/women-porn-assets-whether-they-know-it-or-not-are-objects-they-are/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/50a/chris-hedges-2131_assets_women-porn-assets-whether-they-know-it-o_2649885.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/50a/chris-hedges-2131_assets_women-porn-assets-whether-they-know-it-o_2649885.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/50a/chris-hedges-2131_assets_women-porn-assets-whether-they-know-it-o_2649885.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Women, porn assets, whether they know it or not, are objects They are whores.
