- Oh come on, guys, how childish can you get?
-
- This lady doesn't speak for feminists, and neither do you. Of course
- the ditzy dame orginally quoted (saying that supermodel calendars encourage
- rape) is wrong. Of course shes just jealous because she doesn't look
- like Rachel Hunter.

- That doesn't mean that all "feminists" subscribe to that position. Quite
- the contrary, many feminists don't hold at all that pornography leads to
- rape. Many top models are feminists.
-
- Women deserve the same rights as men, and I support feminists efforts to
- obtain same. Don't ascribe idiotic opinions to all feminists just because
- on nutcase complained about an Elle calendar.
