>>sang the role as if she was a contemporary pornography star and prostitute
Porn stars SING?? Maybe a show tune or two in gay porn, but not in “regular” porn. LOL!
“Pornography is a multi-billion dollar industry, right up there with guns and drugs.”
Which one of these is not like the other?
Naked woman = basic biology = boner. Thank you for letting me explain....
Then again, I do not go to much Opera because other aspects are equally repulsive and barf worthy.
Best regards
I have never seen an ugly women who supports pornography.
The "Right" should not be legislating morality or personal behaviour anymore than the "Left" should be legislating what we eat, drive, have in our gun cabinets, or keep in our wallets.
If this describes your "guy," I know you really, really despise him and can't figure out why because he is doing exactly what you think a man ought to be.
Editor’s note: Earlier this month, NewsRealBlog contributor Megan Fox wrote a fiery post attributing the pornification of our culture to Second Wave feminists. Phyllis Chesler, a veritable Second Wave icon, countered with a passionate defense of the Second Wave’s successes, reminding us of the ideological diversity in her generation of feminism. Far from being apologists for pornography and prostitution, Dr. Chesler and many of her feminist compatriots formed an “abolitionist” alliance with Christian and conservative activists to challenge those who defended “sex work” and pornography on First Amendment grounds. The following piece begins to explore some of that common ground.
This sort of stuff has the potential of causing a split between social conservatives and the rest of the conservative movement, with some social conservatives allying themselves with leftist radical feminists over porn.
The questions are so leading, and clearly presented from the “anti” perspective that no reasonable findings could be made.
Don’t get me wrong—I am not into porno, and I think the points made in the intro are close to my own feelings.
However, many of these questions are akin to “when did you stop beating your wife.”
. Are the people, mainly men, who buy and watch pornography being victimized
Really? You actually believe this?
You need to do some research amongst the women folk.
Way too many questions if she really wants a response. I am sure she already has her idea of what each answer is supposed to be and there for has her “plan of attack” all laid out.
As the father of a lot of girls I will say this. You have to give your girls attention. My 13 yo likes to watch Kendra,(yeah I am a horrible parent/s). I like to make fun of Kendra so it works out. I tell her time and time again that for every Kendra there are thousands of other girls who have real world problems that you don’t want any part of.
I don’t think telling grown men or women that pornography is bad is going to help one stinking bit. I don’t think any amount of guilt trip is going to change their minds. It really begins at home. The users of pornography are not going to change so we need to stem the tide of girls willing to sell their bodies for a few bucks.
For being a PhD, she asks a lot of questions with simple answers.
Gratitude and Humility
Not to mention
Chastity, Empathy, Fidelity, Love, Loyalty,
Prudence, Purity, Restraint, Self-Discipline,
Self-Respect, Sincerity, Temperance, and Wisdom
The injuries to self and others are multitudinous and insidious
They feed into our Obsessions, and starve the Spirit
What is the difference between kinky and perverted?
It is kinky to use a feather.
It is perverted to use the whole chicken.
Because it’s all about “God, Family, Country, Life & Liberty” .... until it isn’t, on sites like FR.
The issues seem simple to me:
(1) Most men and women like sex. That’s biology.
(2) Most men and a surprising number of women like watching attractive people having sex. That’s biology, too.
(3) We “legislate morality” all the time.
(4) Legislating morality gives the government power.
(5) Because of (4), morality should be legislated ONLY when (a) effective and (b) necessary to protect innocent people from bad people.
(6) Because of (1) and (2), legislating porn will be minimally effective at best, esp. in the internet age, without trampling everyone’s rights.
(7) Because of (5) and (6), we should not legislate porn unless producing it involves physical force, coercion, kids, etc. There’s also that First Amendment thing.
And here’s the kicker where our society is failing:
(8) Legal doesn’t mean moral or something we should treat as virtuous. Fight porn culturally, not legislatively. After all, a culture where “legal” is the sole determinant of virtuous is already dead.
OK, I’ll don my asbestos suit now...
