Although we could debate whether the continued consumption of women as sex symbols is perpetuating a cycle wherein women feel compelled to satisfy the male gaze in order to obtain status in a patriarchal society, or whether due to inequalities in opportunity and pay, women are forced into subjecting themselves to objectification for profit, and whether this really constitutes consent in a broader sense. In addition, the pornography business has massive ties to human-trafficking rings, which presents another fly in the ointment, but may we'll leave all of this for another time.
