"but your severely anti opinion of porn is stuck in a bygone age of over simplistic analysis."
There is a difference between the salacious and clandestine marketing of sex and a healthy and free celebration of sexuality - one is just business, the other is being human - I won't insult your intelligence by saying which is which.
Pornogrophy presents women as a group as 'available' and is not 'modern' in any way, but a return to the attitude the a woman's place is in bed and in the kitchen.
I have always been a keen fan of sex - that does not mean I tink it should be confined to marriage or childbearing.
Like all natural acts, once it becomes a produce, which is what pornogrophy make it, it becomes oppresive, even dangerous to those in less of a position to defend themselves.
I am a keen supporter of the philosophies of feminism and can still remember the contempt and anger when the suggestion that women should be able to buy drink alone and buy their own drinks wherever the wished.
Even today a rape victim is put on trial if she coplains to the authorities by having to defend her own attitude to sex.
I suggest you look at the percentage of convictions in rape trials and then go and look at the possible numbers of rapes that are never reported because of the victims awareness of how she will be treated in our green and pleasant land.
"same as most folk music."
Something else we will never agree on
"That's all you need to keep a smear going."
I have put up enough statistics to show exactly how many politicians indulge in on-line porn - only a "smear" is you regard facts as such
