Ah, thanks for that. Went right over my head! (Guess I'm an example eh?)
No problem!
I happened to have been living in Minneapolis when the following occurred:
“The idea of combating pornography through civil rights litigation in the United States was first developed in 1980. Linda Boreman, who had appeared in the pornographic film Deep Throat as “Linda Lovelace,” published a memoir, Ordeal, in which she stated that she had been beaten and raped by her ex-husband Chuck Traynor, and violently coerced into making Deep Throat. Boreman held a press conference, with Minneapolis based feminist Andrea Dworkin, Minneapolis feminist lawyer Catharine MacKinnon, and members of Women Against Pornography supporting her, in which she made her charges public for the press corps. Dworkin, MacKinnon, and Gloria Steinem began discussing the possibility of legal redress for Boreman under federal civil rights law. Two weeks later, they met with Boreman to discuss the idea of pursuing a lawsuit against Traynor and other pornographers. She was interested, but Steinem discovered that the statute of limitations for a possible suit had passed, and Boreman backed off. Dworkin and MacKinnon, however, began to discuss the possibility of civil rights litigation as an approach to combatting pornography.”— Wikipedia
