Noam Chomsky on actresses in pornographic movies.
Does it matter, the interviewer wonders, that most porn performers “choose to do the job and get paid?” Chomsky offers this labored analogy in response: “The fact that women agreed to it and are paid is about as convincing as the fact that we should be in favor of sweatshops in China where woman are locked into the factory and work fifteen hours a day and then the factory burns down and they all die. They were paid and they consented, but it doesn’t make me in favor of it.” And for all of you porn consumers out there, Chomsky wants you to know that if you get “pleasure out of the humiliation of women [you] have a problem.”

The modern master leaves so many questions begging that it is best to not start a list.
