So, when is the feminist going to stop hating men and make sex a moral issue?

Of all things listed in this article, "sexification" of little girls is the absolute worse.
Point the finger at parents on this one.
I have a 12 year old g/daughter who lives with me, who happens to be beautiful and that's not just grandpa prejudice either. She wears T shirts, in appropriate weather, to public school mind you, that have Jesus themes, she has one that she particularly likes that says simply. "I love Jesus", she's old enough to pick out her own clothes and always chooses well.
Adult parents need to get their minds right and quit dressing their little girls like whores, or allowing those little girls to talk them into letting them wear inappropriate clothing.
Just my 2¢ worth.

Your very *premise* is wrong, btw: objection to immorality is not merely a "private opinion" which is entitled to (at most, and probably less) consideration than the satisfaction of carnal desires.
Cheers!

A former coworker of mine related to me that he only had normal sex, i.e., intercourse only, with his wife. (Who was/is the most beautiful black female I have ever laid eyes upon. One could safely presume she didn't have any whites in her ancestry, yet she had the most amazing skin hue, utterly beautiful).
He told me that he went out and met other girls whom he received 'other' types of sex from. He was sincere, as well as adamant, in his rationale that this was not cheating. I asked him why he couldn't/didn't receive oral sex from his wife and his reply was that she was his wife and mother of their children, not a slut.
I actually understood, and to some extent agreed with, him.
After this point the conversation turned to Bill Clinton. The former coworker believing Clinton didn't 'cheat', I asserting that he did and guys that think otherwise are seriously deluding themselves or the most proficient liars amongst mankind.
I'll close by stating, that no matter a person's religion, politics, social standing, or gender, I've see sex, or the chance to acquire it, make hypocrites out of many of them.

I think that if you present any law, I can show you a moral component behind it.

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. I wonder what their stance is on how women are treated in muslim societies?

The concept that boys are too weak to say no is really just apologizing for bad behaviour and condoning it.
It’s the the base that the Taliban operates on. Men are not responsible for their actions, so stone/whip the woman.
This is one thing that irks me about many conservatives.
You either believe in personal responsibiltity or you don’t. When it comes to men, many of them clearly believe they are exempt from personal responsibility.

My argument is simply pro-freedom: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
How consenting adults choose to exercise that freedom should be their choice, and they should live with the consequences.

“And wonder where the Christian Freepers are on threads like this? Pornography , I guess is just oky doky with Christian conservative men and their wives.NOT.”
Here I am. I post against prostitution and porn regularly. I just get a little tired of saying the same things over and over again.
I am a Conservative, not a Libertarian. There is a big difference.
There is a constraint on every civil liberty. Our rights are not unlimited. You can’t say anything you want anywhere, anytime; you can’t worship any way you want; you can’t let off nuclear bombs in the backyard due to your right to bear arms; etc. I oppose pornography and want it illegal, enforced by juries using the community standards approach.
It is not victimless. That is an absolute lie. It destroys people.
Porn is not “freedom.” It is slavery, and it gets you right where your enemy wants you. The pornier America is, the weaker it is.
And it would not require a bloody civil war to get contain it. That is hogwash.

I agree, but its not just parents.
The message that girls get from larger culture, even if they were to read FR regularly, is that they will be rewarded with male attention and acceptance if they dress/look like sluts.

Yelling fire can be harmful to the person’s physical person if panic ensues. The harmful you speak of is spiritual and emotional, which doesnt hurt a person physically.

Cable television. Without a cheap and expansive media to move it, it is hard for something to become mainstream. But, there were paintings and Victorian decorations long before the 60’s. Just now, the internet, dvds, and pay per view tv makes it easier to distribute.

The fact that she equates guns with drugs and porn tell me all I need to know about who she is and what she “fights” for.

Let's hear it for introducing proper culture to young people.
Cotillion might seem like an awfully old-fashioned idea to the larger TV-watching culture, but I am glad to see it is still alive and well and being practiced somewhere in this country.
