I am a woman and I enthusiastically enjoy and support my partners enjoyment of porn. There are far too many females who cry "addiction!" as a convenient demonization of normal and healthy habits. Yes, there is such a thing as addiction to pornography, but let's not be the girls who cried wolf. Watching porn on a regular basis is no different than reading erotica or even watching romantic comedies for women. These female versions of porn objectify men as providers and rescuers, as well as providing unrealistic images of men for women. Just because what turns men on and what turns women on are different, doesn't mean they are wrong. If your partner is no longer intimate with you, that's a problem. But viewing porn, even on a regular basis, isn't what is damaging to a relationship - the inability or unwillingness to communicate about sex and intimacy is. Women should not be threatened by images on a screen. We should prioritize a happy and healthy sex life just as highly as we prize a clean home and a successful work life. Maybe if we stop trying to belittle and shame men for their desires we might be able to understand and communicate adequately about both theirs and our own.
