Subject: RE: OBIT: Linda Boreman aka Linda Lovelace
Her book, Out of Bondage was quite believable and I've seen "Deep Throat." I had a great deal of respect for her, for getting out of an abusive relationship and the industry. Any woman who is in an abusive relationship, or man, for that matter, cannot usually "unload the asshole at any point." There is so much more to it than that simplistic statement; it's about control. The abuser has all of the control.

Spaw, you are spot on about talking with your kids. Mine have all grown up to be pretty decent adults who saw and heard about all kinds of things when they were young, including porn, and did learn those oh-so-important critical thinking skills which led them to make healthy choices.

I am a feminist, but I do not paint porn with a broad swath of condemnation. I don't particularly care for it and don't watch it, anymore, but there are some fine pieces of work being done by women, for women.
