Reply #200: Well, there are many questions -- we have males becoming addicted to internet porn, for one ...

[defendandprotect]

and we have what they are learning from this violent pornography now being

fostered upon women in our society. I'm sure you noted the lawsuit vs Yale --

and the frat boys there proclaiming loudly that "No means Yes -- and that Sex

means anal sex." The pornography industry is simply propaganda vs women and is

being used as any other rightwing propaganda has been used over millennia to do

harm to citizens -- from Jews, to Women, from African Amereicans to Homosexuals.

The average and totally available internet porn offers all kinds of violence

against women in seeking to degrade women.

More and more young women report being pressured by boyfriends to engage in the

kind of forceful and violent sex being shown in pornography.

And, I'm reciting these things just to try to make clear that there is a line which

comes down on every issue -- where a good becomes an evil and vice versa.

Those who wish to exploit and profit and enslave find that propaganda is also helpful

in dehumanizing their intended victims.

Having said those things -- and because I've always thought that legalization would

be preferable -- it becomes more and more obvious that exploiters will always up the

ante -- and I think we are still quite behind in understanding what's really happening

and what needs to be done. I'm even more negative on thinking we have the political

wherewithal to even protect against kidnappings for any purpose -- but especially for

sex slavery -- as we don't seem to have the political wherewithal to protect ourselves

from much these days. And, certainly our elected representatives are not performing

as they should be.
