it was about STATE-LEVEL censorship - a first amendment issue.
if you want to claim that those who supported, and support first amendment protections are about censorship - this is truly nonsensical. The issue of censorship in that context was about protecting even those feminists who object to porn to have the capacity to speak about this issue - while others disagree.
but you are framing this, really, as a personal issue on this board. I'm not. The issue is bigger than personalities on this board.
on this board you are going to find people who disagree with one another and who disagree with the way arguments are framed and who don't find some people can or do make compelling arguments for their side.
maybe some people need to work on making better arguments. if one group tells another group they cannot possibly be feminist if they disagree - why would those women so labeled find anything worthwhile in such an argument? It is an ad hominem attack. it's like someone in a self help group who learns the lingo and goes around telling everyone else she is in denial because to deny this is denial. It doesn't matter what the reasoning is - it's just the capacity to attack the other person.
