More data driven science on how Porn can be beneficial to people and their relationships.

4. I do post there, sometimes, since I'm genuinely interested in equality for everyone.

I absolutely do consider myself a Feminist, at least under a number of definitions of the word. And I think all of DU is invested in seeing a healthy, diverse and welcoming set of voices on all fronts of equality, freedom and rights, from gender issues to LGBT issues to the whole ball of wax. So I'm over there for many of the same reasons I'm here, I also think it's important to note that many Feminists have felt under-represented by the quality and tone of the discourse that has historically been available here, no point in rehashing the whole thing but clearly there is a whole new generation and a set of newer ideas and attitudes that have made some folks who consider themselves the "old guard" uncomfortable.

It's important to progressives and indeed to this nation that younger people, open minded people, LGBT people, trans people, sex positive people and pro-freedom people not be bullied and strongarmed out of the conversation simply because there may be a few rigid ideologues who are only interested in navel-gazing 'discussion' on matters they all agree on, more intent on insulting or belittling their younger peers than actually respecting and listening to them.

...but "better with words"; I appreciate that, but certainly not true. I actually think lately my synapses have been showing their age- I feel like I'm hitting that middle age point where my body's like the car where the warranty just ran out and everything starts breaking down at once.
