Not like I have anything against lesbian porn but ffs it doesn't even make semantic sense.

Interestingly enough I once read an article about how many straight women enjoyed lesbian porn because

  • A. It shows women getting head and

  • B. Female pleasure is centered, even if for the male gaze.

I think with that knowledge, anyone who's being honest with themselves can see the embedded misogyny laid bare, so to speak.

I'm definitely not honest with myself, though usually in unrelated matters, so perhaps I need handholding here. Taking the statement in reverse, non-lesbian porn is unenjoyable because either

-A. It doesn't show women recieving oral sex, or

-B. It doesn't center on female pleasure.

Is that more substantial than just a preference in content? Is being in the minority of video viewership and recieving minority market attention the embedded misogyny? Or is it more about the participants/subjects than the viewers, as the other poster suggested? What connection am I missing?
