but persistent concern about civil rights in any other context is lauded.

Thank heavens for Bob Jensen and Chris Hedges and other men who speak out about the harms of pornography. Sadly, there are many people who will only listen to other men about this, and if that cuts into one trafficker's profit margin or helps stop the conditioning of five boys' sexuality to hurting females, then so be it.

Sorry for the confusion. I'm not the most agile user of these boards.
