Most woman in pornography chose that "profession" they weren't forced onto it! True, some woman have been forced to do things they didn't want to do but the majority wanted to do there "own thing". This of course brings to mind Linda Lovelace who says she was forced at GUNPOINT to make the movie "Deep Throat". Anyone who has seen the movie might dispute that point. (of course she lost her case in court) As a male I must say I have never seen such outragous hatred toward my gender because of a few ,"keepem' barefoot and pregnant" net users. Believe me when I say some of us do consider women equals but with the way some of you are treating us (PREHISTORIC BEASTS) I'm sure you can change our minds. Please try not to refer to SOME men as EVERY or ALL!!! Just because a man or men don't like you as a person doesn't mean they dislike ALL or EVERY woman on the face of the earth. You may just be intolerable. (for instance, the way Sunny K. refers to the opposite BEASTLY sex I wouldn't be a bit surprised if she didn't have one male friend.) Please give us, me, some of us a break. Thanks for the "people do what they want" article Helen. I appreciated it. Tired of the BEASTLY generalization, David Bordeau P.S. Sorry to single you out Sunny but you have the worst attitude toward men I have ever seen in my entire life.
