You may be right, but it seems plausible that men are also much less likely to understand the potential for and existence of abuse that happens to women in the porn industry.

So it may not be that they don't care about women. Simply that they don't understand and recognize the harm to women.

I think that the harm, abuse, maiming and occasional deaths happening to millions of factory workers is well understood. However we are doing very little to seriously address it. I haven’t heard any stories of woman loosing their arms, legs, or lives shooting porn in the porn industry. Have you?

Dude, the labor movement has been around for over a hundred years. We've made mind blowing progress on workers' rights. There hasn't been anything close to this for sex workers.
