Ann -- I agree with all of that. Except the bit about banning all pornography. Because then you get down to who says this or that is pornography? Child pornography, sure. But would you ban Nabokov's Lolita, for example? Or if you wouldn't, are you sure that Barr or McCullum wouldn't? And on and on. I think that letting a thousand flowers bloom, except in horribly egregious cases (including explicit child porn), works pretty darn well. It seems to me that what degrades women is not allowing expression which takes advantage of a tendency among men to be aroused by the physical image of women. What degrades women is denying them the full rights and liberties which allow them to seize and exercise power. When a society is full of images of powerful and rising women, women tend to be enhanced. And not degraded. Overall. Even if there is some trash in the gutters. Doug
