You have a point. Except if, like in Ally McBeal, the woman suing for sexual discrimination is because the boss promotes the pretty girls he sleeps with, while she cannot get promoted because the boss has no intrest in her. So it is sexual discrimination because she wasn't asked by the boss to have sex, and so her carreer suffers from it ! When I said porn I had magazines like Playboy in mind. It is amazing the number of beautiful women they can get, and how it has almost become a sign of status (for shallow people) to be on the cover page of Playboy. We even see Hollywood stars or famous singers ! But all the women I have heard disparaging Playboy saying that it was just degrading to women because they are seen as sex objects, are unattractive women (and I sensed some frustration and jealousy). I have been told by some Japanese (and Korean !) girl that many beautiful girls actually wanted to be in famous porn/erotic magazines as they were proud of their body and wanted to show it before it was 'too late'. When I watch MTV, I sometimes wonder if some female singers are there to sing or show their body... I also noticed that a lot of "party girls" (or boys) with a more promiscuous lifestyle were the more sexy and attractive types. It's not really about "beauty" but more "sexiness". And I believe that sexiness had a lot to do with sex drive and how one wants to be seen, rather than natural beauty.
