No, I looked up the statistics on women forced into porn and can't find ****. I found an article about how more and more women in Japan are coming forward about being tricked or forced into porn, but it just had the number attached to that case. We really lack a lot of stats that you'd think we'd have.

Sure, I think any power angle could be exploited in the same way. However, capitalism definitely makes it easier because it creates a clear hierarchy where those that have the capital have the power.
