73. That one surprises me less than the anti-abortion shit allowed to stay here.

At least we had made a little headway with respect to abortion, once upon a time.

With porn and men's entitlement to women (and girls, too, obviously) we have never made one step in the progressive direction.

Oops I take that back... There are now a few states finally acting to curb revenge porn.

We need MacKinnon's and Dworkin's law re: porn enacted. Allow any woman harmed by porn to sue for damages. If pornsick people are so damned sure that no one is ever harmed by porn they should have absolutely no problem with it. Only problem is, pornographers know the truth, they have no cognitive dissonance to soothe with delusion... and they will fight that law with everything they have.
