Do you honesty think you will be able to convince anti-porn people that ANY porn has "socially redeeming qualities"? Trixie, I know you're an intelligent woman and I'm not about to insinuate something other than that, but do you fully understand who those rabid anti-porn people are? We're talking about people who lean so far to the right that they can't go sailing due to the fear of keeling the boat over. Unless we can convince them that their god of choice wants people to lounge naked and fuck on the internet, they aren't going to care about what we've to say. This is my whole point of contention. There is no way for us to add value to pornography. The only thing we can do is hammer home YOUR right to express yourself as you wish, whether they find it objectionable or not.
Red porn is not my bag, baby. But that doesn't mean that I want those cocksuckers saying that you can't do it.

Never heard of her.

That's not true. I hardly ever argue with people who agree with me.
