Why is pornography (and sexualisation in general) so normalised? (mander.xyz)

It seems as though we are going backwards. We were doing so well in realising that all human beings are worthy individuals with emotional and intellectual depth, yet now so many of us don't seem to see any problem with society encouraging many to reduce themselves to sexual objects. How is this rationalised?

You can be sexual and engage in pornography without objectifying yourself or others.

The better question is why we continue to allow our society to demonize sexuality. Own your sexuality. Fuck the church.
