      There isn't much female demand for pics of men posing sexually. Market would supply it if there were.https://twitter.com/fronxer/status/881573662549307392 …

      Its not as tho women's preferences don't influence market re erotica. 50 Shades of Grey did ok.

          I think there *is* a default assumption that favours men but its that women wld make same choices as men but culturally conditioned not to

          Eg 'women don't go into engineering as much as men coz society has culturally constructed the engineer as male by default'

          If we get rid of that image of the engineer as a man, women will then realise they're just as interested in the same numbers as men are.

          But this is the wrong focus. A gender egalitarian society is not one in which women make all the same choices men do.

          Women don't have to start preferring engineering to psychology or visual porn to erotic fiction to have gender equality.

          Feminists need to stop making typically male preferences the default 'best options'. Women won't buy it & will do what they want anyway.

          men and women consume porn equally. Men prefer visual while women prefer emotional stimuli however Romance novels = hardcore porn for women

          I just realised, if I accidentally added an "f" to the acronym, that'd have been extremely awkward. And probably a story for an erotic novel

          Japan does a booming business in gay erotica consumed almost exclusively by women.
