*I encourage all women to think about this issue deeply, and engage with it--most of their men are "infected" to some extent.*

LOL Squeers, most of their men actually have testosterone in their
veins and hormones affect human behaviour. Perhaps you should
pack up the philosophy books and learn a bit about endocrinology.

A bare breasted woman on a calender is hardly porn, its healthy
erotica. Quite natural and normal. Do you understand nothing
at all about nature?

Some of the most upset women that I've ever met, are those who
don't grow old gracefully. Over time that huge power which they
held over men for so long, diminishes. They get no attention and
panic sets in. They will buy every claimed youth treatment, spend
hundreds of millions on Botox etc. Many dream of having the power
of their youth back, but alas, nature doesen't work that way.

Stop trying to deny nature, just accept it gracefully.

Thank-you for the links. I loved the story about the Coolidge effect in the second article.

I agree that there should be more discussion of female sexual power. There cannot be too many women who have-not taken advantage of this power. As you mentioned, some cannot function without it.

"Stop trying to deny nature, just accept it gracefully"

Yabby, you've been around long enough to know that the garage calendars are hung in protest at the moratorium on more explicit images; it's a protest of emasculated masculinity.
And while I most certainly do accept the sex drive, indeed take great pleasure in it; the issue for me is not just about a biological drive with which I sympathise, it's a) about men's perennial immaturity, with his pictures and cat calls and whistling and impressing his mates. And b) about the male obsession with demeaning women as sex objects to be dominated, humiliated and variously penetrated in order to appease their seemingly starving egos.
In my view the author should be less concerned about discrimination and more about the underlying dynamics.

So much twaddle.

If women really want to eliminate pornography it is so simple. All they have to do is get rid of their clothes, apart from what they need to keep them warm.

I spent quite a bit of time in areas of the Pacific islands, where there was only a village, or perhaps a village, with a plantation, with one white, or mixed race family running it.

In these places the women rarely wore anything but a grass skirt, although some substituted a hip sarong for this, when material was easily available. When I appeared, a single white man, some of the women would don a mother hubbard, or full sarong. This would usually only last a couple of days. Once they decided I was nothing special, they went back to their usual comfortable dress.

This was never in any way erotic, it was just normal. In fact occasionally there would be a lady villager who was home from school, or a job in a bigger centre. These would usually be more comfortable in town clothing, & drew more attention because of this.

One plantation owner told me that his wife usually went topless, & was only wearing a bikini top because of my presence. He told me he found it quite titillating when she took it off, after wearing it all day, & was quite surprised at his reaction.

So ladies, if you want to stop pornography, get your gear off, & very soon, no one will bother to look.

"The walls of the garage, the clubroom, the fire station, the camp or the Digga factory form ‘an environment which itself amounts to sexual discrimination’. "

Well the last garage I was in I didn't see any sexual discrimination hanging from the walls, the last clubhouse I was in I didn't see any sexual discrimination hanging from the walls, and I have spent many years in factories, and only occasionally have I seen suggestive calendars or pictures in those places.

I think most of this so called sexual discrimination is exaggerated in an attempt to once again find fault with the male gender, and make women look oppressed.

Feminists could always build and run their own garages, build and run their own clubs, and build and run their own factories.

But they won't. Much easier to complain about those evil "males" instead.

When Oh When will a feminist ever say something positive about the male gender, or is there a law against this.

The vast majority of porn is revolting and demeaning to the status of women.They are portrayed in servile mechanical manner that also lowers the aspirations of their male stupid wank#ig masters.This type of porn is truly evil and demeaning to all our humanity.
