Martin Taylor wonders why women (not only in Canada, Martin, but
also in the United States) are not for pornography, but rather are
against it.

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.
