porn

The social problem of pornography (including "soft core") is not that it
corrupts the minds of a few boys, but rather that it contributes to a climate
where women are perceived only as sex objects.  Thus, the key social issue here
is feminism.

P.S. now that the discussion has broadened so that it is less dominated by one
or two voices, I no longer have a process issue with it.  I find it fairly
devoid of new content, but concur with our moderator that there is no reason to
suppress it.
