Nobody said society is only abusive to women.
> Porn is a natural outgrowth of sexual liberation.
> You will not have one without the other.
This is like saying slavery is a natural outgrowth of agriculture and one cannot exist without the other. It's extremely pessimistic and wrong.
It might be that you're using the definition of "pornography" that porn shills have successfully inserted into the public mindset through decades of propaganda, which is: "Any depiction of sexuality is pornography."
Making sure that no linguistic distinction exists between positive and negative depictions of sexuality is an extremely effective method of ensuring that negative depictions of sexuality cannot be criticized, as any such criticism can then be discarded as puritanism, as if it's a criticism of all portrayal of sexuality.
But if you read, for example, the definition of "pornography" put forth in the Civil Rights Ordinance (MacKinnon & Dworkin) you will notice that it's very restricted and makes it abundantly clear that positive and neutral depictions of sexuality are not included in it.
