[net.women] porno and civil rights

brown@rochester.UUCP (Chris Brown) (02/12/84)

Can anyone enlighten me on the technical legal grounds behind the
pornography = civil rights violation argument?  I must confess it
puzzles me.

While I'm up, I'll note that the last X-rated film I saw never showed
the men's faces or legs -- they were costumed or masked, and completely
DEHUMANIZED (aha!).  The women, on the other hand, were naked, beautiful,
and very human.  The film I saw before that was produced and directed
by the star, a woman.  Finally, the last several women I talked to
who were violently anti-porno had never seen any.

One explanation may be that porno USED to be exploitive, and the people
who got upset about it then haven't noticed the changes.

Enough speculative maundering.  Exactly why does generic porno violate
anyone's rights?
