anti porn vs 1st amendment feminist. new division created. [View all]






i am now seeing this expressed by a couple three fellow feminist. i would like to address it before it becomes an untrue fact. it is just my guess it is incorrect and i would like to find out thru a poll.

i am anti porn or so i will be told, whatever that may mean. i will also defend the right to make and watch porn, though, i will also discuss the harm being done to women without their consent in the industry and the effects on men, women, relationships, children and society as a whole. i will also defend KKK's right to speech along with MRA.

i am hearing often that there are women on this board that want laws to ban porn. i have not heard any woman state we should ban porn. there may be. i may be surprised. but, i dont think discussing harm porn may cause means i am against the first amendment right and since it is something i have, without contradiction, stood up for, i would really like that known before another untruth becomes a truth.
