Then why don't these woman take the problem up with the other women, the prostitutes, instead of trying to get the government to do their dirty work for them? Interesting, isn't it that feminists cry 'you can't legislate morality' with regard to abortion, but want to legislate morality on pornography. >An increase in the number women who *choose* to be prostitutes is >something that most main-stream feminists don't want to see... (Just >try to fit it into the theory...) When a Theory doesn't fit Reality, the problem is often the Theory. Jim Baranski
