" Lord Hunt of Kings Heath described images he had been shown by the police that “appeared” violent but were in fact consensual as “disgusting” and “revolting” ".

Doesn't it really make you wonder what kind of repressed sexual thoughts (mainly pushed by religious zealotry) are running rampant though some otherwise reasonable minds? And these folks are the ones who think their own inadequacies and repressions need to be imposed on the rest of the population.

Remember all the scandals several years ago in the US when several high profile evangelists were caught with their hands (or other parts) in the honey pot while forcefully advocating against the pleasures of the flesh. Some of our politicians come to mind also.

Anyone defending the pervert industry is either deceived or has a perverted mind. Maybe they justify showing nudes of young girls as young as 12 and call it art as seen in Sydney last night. I am sure many of the posters here would take their 12 year olds to nude beaches and allow every other perverted person to stare at her. Pornography is degrading and only serves to paint women, girls, men and boys as pure sex objects. The pervert industry has fooled many because they need their bit of sick gratification for the day and the industry wants your money. With views like Catherine's you can be sure her religous 'degree' must be in earth worshiping or something similar. Remind me not to send my kids to the same uni.

I’m not sure that rape is increasing, and I think men’s abuse of women is very minimal, (although much exaggerated by the feminist movement so as to maintain the feminist movement).

However I do think that the internet should be cleaned up. Feminist lies on the internet could be taken off for a start, and then proceed on to any violent material and pornography.

This article is also another feminist article on “men’s violence against women”, that doesn’t mention women’s violence against other women, or women’s violence against children, or women’s violence against men, or men’s violence against men.

Next feminists will be saying that they believe in equality and democracy, and taking a broad and unbiased view of the world.

It am always left at a loss when yet another woman defends the pornography industry. I just don't understand the motivation behind it. Why should images of woman drowning while being raped as their heads are being stuffed down toilets, pins being stuck up women's vaginas, woman having sex with animals (i could go on and on and on) be assessable for men to use to masturbate? The whole sex industry exists to provide men with a means of ejaculating. For this reason, and this reason only, women and girls around the world must suffer abhorant violence and abuse. Does anyone else find this situation difficult to accept, impossible to defend?

Les,
You seem to know a lot about porn (and after a quick look at the author’s blog site, she also seems to have a fascination with it), but I have read that about 40% of pornography users are women, and they probably use pornography to masturbate to or fantasies with in some way.

It appears to be another feminist myth or feminist lie that the only pornography users are male.

Dear HRS

I am exposed to this abhorant material through my work in the criminal justice system. I am sick of having to view porn material produced by men that depict their own daughters and other young children in porn inspired situations. I will not go into any detail but it is violent, degrading, and abusive, and porn inspired. I should add that these cases are not rare. Unfortunately, they are becoming more and more common. So HRS, i assure you I am not fascinated with this material, rather I am at the coal face trying to get justice for the victims of the men who are porn users.
