`` The feminist argument that pornograhy is harmful has no merit and should not be discussed in college courses. I read'playboy' magazine, and I don't see any how it could be harmful. Feminist might criticize me for looking at porn, but they shouldn't talk: they obviously look at it, too, or they couldn't criticize it. Many important people, including Presidents, writers, and entertainers who have been interviewed by the magazine and the woman who pose in it, apparently agree.
Scientific studies so far have not proved that pornograhy is harmful, so it must not be harmful. Besides, to be harmful., pornograhy. Would either have to harm the men who read it or the women who pose in it, and since they both choose these activities, they must not be harmful. Feminist should take a lesson from my parents- they don't like loud music and won't have it in their house, but they don't go around saying it's harmful to everyone or trying to prevent others from listening to it. Ever since feminists began attacking our popular culture, the moral foundation of our society has been weakened; the divorce rate, for example, continues to rise. If feminists would just cease their hysterical opposition to sex, perhaps relationships in our society would improve. If feminists insist, instead, on banning porn, men will have no freedom and no pleasure left, and large numbers of women will be jobless and will have to work as prostitutes to support themselves. In light of these consequences, feminists shouldn't be surprised if their protest are met with violence; truly, the feminist argument is baseless
