Anti-porn campaigners warn women that the possible dangers of sexual violence are too high a price to pay for freedom, whether it be freedom of expression in general or the specific right of women to explore their sexuality. We should cower once again in the "safety" of marriage rather than risk the fear of sexual assault, we are told. Pornography "gives men ideas", you know, and those ideas are of no use to women. Anyway, porn is just "pictures of women for men", and shows "no mutuality" - and you know, they are absolutely right about that, where the UK is concerned, because the existing censorship doesn't much allow you to show anything else.
How can you have mutuality if you can't show people together? How can you portray men sexually if you can't even show erections? Anti-porn "feminists" say this is an innate trait of pornography, but it certainly isn't a factor in the porn available in Europe and America, where plenty of porn shows mutuality, cocks, female sexual assertiveness and such. The much-deplored "imbalance" British women find in porn is an artifact of censorship, not of human sexual interest in sexual material. In other countries, women consume pornography; they don't do it here because there's nothing to buy."
From another site about why to vote libertarian:
"One of the few agreed-upon issues by Bush and Gore in this year's election is the problem of "smut" and "filth" on the internet. We must put sex and violence filters on computers in schools and libraries. We must shut down obscene web sites and prosecute their owners. We must do whatever is necessary to protect children from the dangers of online pornography.
Well, I say ba humbug and fiddlesticks to that! Bring on the smut!"
Another Libertarian group has a web page with links to such articles as "Tales from the Clit".
One Libertarian group runs a virtual prostitution museum.
There are more of these people than you can shake a stick at.
I know the official LP position does not praise porn. But a whole lot of people claiming to be Libertarians do. This damages the image of the entire movement.
By the way, I agree with the LP position on porn. My position is that maybe we should remember "Loose lips sink ships."
Go to the head of your class.
There is a Republican site claiming that all Republicans like to eat babies too.
No real libertarian ever promoted porn as a libertarian position.
Kevin Curry and Roscoe and CJ run the sites you mentioned.
And what is the site address?
