"I think every man who is not a religious moron likes when a woman is comfortable with watching a porn movie"
About this Quote
It’s a deliberately crude provocation dressed up as blunt honesty, the kind of line that tests how much “cool girl” performance a culture will reward. Scorupco isn’t just talking about porn; she’s talking about social permission. By setting up a binary between “religious moron” and enlightened men, she weaponizes insult to pre-empt dissent. If you object, you’re not merely prudish; you’re stupid, and probably sanctimonious. That rhetorical move turns a messy topic (sexual boundaries, consent, discomfort, taste) into a loyalty test.
The gender politics are doing most of the work. “Likes when a woman is comfortable” sounds progressive on its face, but it quietly centers male pleasure and validation: the ideal woman is the one who can watch porn without making men feel judged. Comfort becomes a kind of credential, proof she won’t complicate the male gaze with questions about exploitation, body comparison, or what porn does to intimacy. The subtext is less “women should be free” than “women should be easygoing about men’s appetites.”
Context matters: as an actress who moved between European cinema and Hollywood, Scorupco came up in an era when celebrities earned “realness” points by being sexually unshockable, especially women trying to avoid the “uptight” label. The line reads like that moment’s currency: liberation packaged as edginess, feminism swapped for bragging rights, nuance traded for a punchline that flatters the audience it most wants to keep.
