Controversy has erupted over next Tuesday's European Parliament resolution "on eliminating gender stereotypes in the EU", meant to mark international women's day, after libertarian Swedish MEPs from the Pirate Party spotted the call for a ban in the small print.

While not legally binding, the vote could be the first step towards European legislation as the EU's assembly increasingly flexes its political muscle within Europe's institutions.

Are the trying to eliminate gender stereotypes in porn? Will all porn have to be sold in opaque envelopes and you won’t known the sex, age or body type until you’ve bought and opened it. Stinks to be you, you got another issue of Queer Old Chubbies. And don’t even try to discrimitorially throw it out because the EU trash police will be checking your recycling bin,

I guess I’ll side with the EU on this. My basic point is that all the freedoms in the world are WORTHLESS if it leads to the destruction of the state - for what replaces it will be much, much, worse than not being able to buy Penthouse.

Europeans will be discovering this in under a decade - starting in Belgium.

I’m sure the Taliban has that on their target list once they impose Sharia in the enlarged.

For those here who seem perplexed as to how to define porn, ask any teenage boy or man who visits porn sites what he is going there to see. Duh! He’s going there to watch people have sex. Porn = photos/video of people actually having sex. It’s simple enough. I knew what it was when I was a teenage girl. To see that adults, conservative adults at that, don’t know what porn is is disheartening.

That said, will the EU ban porn? Nope. It won’t happen. Porn is crucial to the breakdown of the family. The breakdown of the family is an absolute necessity for more government expansion...which the EU wants. When the family is broken down, the father is replaced by the government.
