The age of sexual consent should be 14 (albeit law should be sensitive to issues of exploitation). #TweetYourUnpopularOpinion

@PhilosophyExp@PhilosophyExp Hence, pornography should be legal for 14 years old.
@dicophilo Doesn't necessarily follow (for example, I might think pornography should be illegal because women have rights against it).

@PhilosophyExp@dicophilo Women may have rights against it. Feminist talking point. Porn girls and other sex workers claim right to do. -
@PhilosophyExp@dicophilo I'm inclined to believe the people in the business over radical feminists. Matter of consent? -
@tibfulv@dicophilo I think Rae Langton's rights-based argument against porn is the strongest available, but I don't think it's decisive. -
@PhilosophyExp@tibfulv References ? I'd be happy to read it / about it. -
@dicophilo@tibfulv This is the classic statement. (Langton is undoubtedly a superb philosopher): http://bit.ly/1A1BG2M -
@PhilosophyExp@dicophilo Dear goodness, is she using the extreme nutcase _MacKinnon as a verified truth teller? The woman's a known liar. -
@tibfulv@dicophilo No, it's a different argument. You should read it. It's very smart (even if one thinks it ultimately fails - as I do). -
@PhilosophyExp@dicophilo Oh good. I'll have to take some time to read it. At this point in time, reading's sadly a major chore. - 2 more replies

@PhilosophyExp What about gay male pornography ? -
@dicophilo What about it? (My point is just that pornography isn't identical to sexual intercourse, so...). -
@PhilosophyExp 'K. Still, if you're allowed to do sexual intercourse, seems a bit odd to me not being allowed watching / filming it. -
@dicophilo I don't think it's straightforward (coz there's a whole set of issues to do with objectification/commercialization with porn).
