actually, he didn't quite say that. He said that masburbation is not the same as pornography, and that pornography is bad.
Back on topic. About women being treated as sex objects through porn, yes i guess they do, however, just because you treat one woman as a sex object at some point, doesn't mean you treat every women as such, nor does it mean you treat the woman as a sex object all the time. If watching porno indeed does make you treat women as sex objects would depend on the person watching the porn.
Generally i'd say that pornography would just make you more inclined to notice the sexual side of females, i hardly think pornography would make people treat women as objects. Futhermore, Sexuality isn't really the same as objectification, if it was, then you wouldn't be able to have sex without being a degrading asshole.
About sexuality and women, if this is bad or not depends on the woman in question. Some might find it offending, others might not. A rule of thumb would be that if they think you as a sexual being, then they don't mind you thinking openly(that is, you tell her or she discovers it) of them as a sexual being. If they mind you doing it secretly, well.....there's a saying that goes: "what they don't know, can't hurt them". The real question is how much it annoys the observer of the women, and this is where or differences come in.
How you think pornography is destructive i can't quite see, do you mean the potential degrading of women connected to it, or something else ?
