Over the past few weeks and months, I've been discussing with various friends the issue of pornagraphy. I have been unable, however, to find a person who approaches the issue from the point of view of a female feminist who opposes pornography because it may be harmful to women. I have several friends who hold this point of view, but they always say " I don't know, but I've heard people say..." And then feel that they cannot push thier point of view to forcefully. I'm looking for someone who feels they can argue from this point of view. What I would like is to have a friendly academic/intellectual discussion by e-mail with someone who holds this point of view, and can explain it clearly and rationally. Eventually, I'd like to be able to find primary references for any statistics that may be cited. I know that many people hold the view that pornagraphy is wrong because it is harmful to women, but none of my friends feel strongly enough about it to discuss it in depth. I'm sure that there are some people out there who can. DanZ dan@cubmol.bio.columbia.edu
