This article is as dopey and uniformed as her last one.

Makes one cringe with horror if people like this represent up and coming academics who will be able to call themselves 'doctor'

You know why this does get published. Because feminist articles get lots of 'hits', hence advertising revenue. So next time a crap feminist article like this gets published, lets not encourage it by adding lots of forum entries. Lets take our gender politics discussions away from articles such as this and into the general discussion. Conversely feminist articles of better quality should be encouraged.

Otherwise you will get more of this kind of crap article.

Well, I don't know this writer but she sure dobbed Catherine Lumby in it. Surely there has to be a post from Reist soon.

I think the jury is still out re the effects of pornography. Personally, I tend to think it's harmless but then again I've read enough police statements to know that in the most violent of sex crimes (still very small %) the perpetrator had a collection of hard core porn and said he was in part motivated to 'act out' the scenarios.

It's a complex issue which slashes right through almost every political position in the social sciences. Where do feminists draw the line on notions of freedom of speech, freedom to access pornography? etc. Does censorship work? Do crime rates drop? One can be way to the socialist green left but still advocate censorship or you can be on the far right and invoke (in America) one's Constitutional Rights to access pronography.

Funny how those who want to continue to perve on women and men in slavery are totally blinded to the obvious outcomes.

Where's the proof, though, runner? You can make all the statements which you consider to be "obvious" you like, but without proof, they're blown away with the wind...

Again, the comments from the protagonist of the sex industry, or the “champions of fools” in this forum, highlight the element of university student/graduate given over to arrogance and blindness to any form of compassion towards a legitimate concern for women’s rights. I hold serious concerns about the output of universities when I read drivelous and hysterical comment such as yours with conclusions that obviously fall onto the wrong side of the argument for the wrong reasons.
Good on you Caroline; when women are equally represented in our parliaments, then will true change against the all consuming power of the depraved sex industry, in all its forms, come about in Australia .
