Wow. I glad she was able to vocalize those feelings so eloquently. I have similar thoughts when I read those "All porn is bad because of negative gender issues" and the like. It's good to read someone who seems to be more realistic about those issues rather than being completely reactionary. Thanks for posting her thoughts.

*claps* well said!

Personally, I'm sick of kink being used in anti-pornography posters. Sort of like "porn is so bad that they have women bound and gagged". So yeah, this is right on.

Part of growing up thinking that there is something horribly wrong with you is trying to figure out why you're so messed up.

Exactly what I feel and think whenever this "examine!" demand crops up. Hope ftw.
