The reason is quite simple. Pornography, which is almost exclusively directed towards men, depicts women purely and simply as sex objects. One glance at the "split beaver" shots in (say) Hustler would convince you of this. Moreover, much of pornography depicts women as subservient and abused by men. With this in mind, is it any wonder that many women, I'm sure even Phyllis Schlafly, oppose pornography. John Hobson AT&T Bell Labs Naperville, IL (312) 979-0193 ihnp4!ihuxq!amigo2
