Consenting adults to make their own damn decisions and control their own damn bodies.

I feel just as strongly- if not more- about reproductive freedom, ending the drug war, legalizing pot, making sure terminally ill people have access to palliative care and a pain free exit on their own terms if they so choose. It is only this area where we have a small but vocal cadre of "progressives" so dedicated to an anti freedom, anti choice position.

The real issue is that there are (some) women on this board who don't like men looking at women's bodies in a sexual way. Period. Whether in porn, at a bar, on television, in movies, in magazines, on the street, heck..even in a committed relationship


See, i think you've nailed it, there. This is how you get people making comparisons between a film of two people fucking, and a film of a lynching, for instance. Because some people have been programmed to believe that heterosexual sex IN AND OF ITSELF is abuse to women- so of course films of it are "hate speech". The very act itself is imagined to be somehow harmful and anti-feminist.

Its a whacked out view, and it drives the gibberish we see.
Its also interesting that the anti porn "science" comes from the religious right Warren DeMontague Jun 2012 #1
It also comes from the women's studies dept at a few universities Major Nikon Jul 2012 #2
And they love nothing more than to tout "hard science" from folks like Reisman Warren DeMontague Jul 2012 #3
Which demonstrates that there's no really difference between them and the book burners Major Nikon Jul 2012 #4
