The problem with saying that porn objectifies women is that it's only half-true. Porn objectifies women as well as men. The only difference between the two is that for cultural reasons we consider sex something "men do to women". But if you think all porn portrays women as the passive "recipient" of sexual activities, you haven't been paying attention. The problem is that even when women play the active part it they're considered victims because a) we see sex as something "done to women" and b) most porn is targeted at men (so porn consumers "use" the women, too). Of course what this really boils down to is the sexist idea that men can't be raped (without being penetrated) and therefore can't be the "object" of porn to the same extent as women (except in gay porn because we like to pretend gay men are just men acting as if they were women). In the end, the most common arguments against porn can be summarized as "I don't like it, therefore you shouldn't like it either" (or "I feel guilty, therefore you should feel guilty too").
