Why are men's fantasies demonized but women's fantasies considered harmless or even beneficial?

Good quote:
"In a blog post for Pajamas Media, psychologist Helen Smith raises the question of whether "control over porn" is "really about control over men’s sexuality." She goes on to say: "I think there are many reasons that marriages are not working out, but porn seems to be the least of the problems. And I wonder -- does porn distort men’s attitudes as much as romance novels and Lifetime TV distort women's?" Well, that's provocative, ain't it! In all the time I've spent reading about and taking part in feminist debates about pornography, I've never heard that question raised. Essentially, Smith is asking whose vice is more unrealistic and harmful to real-life relationships."
