    does that mean you are generally against porn... or just the saturation of it?
    As I've said I think the feminist agenda in the Western world has very little left to reasonably fight for anyway... but you don't think you can be employed in porn and still be a feminist?
    Heck no I am a man after all :lol::lol:
    But there was a time when access to porn was not as easy as it now. I truly believe that the proliferation of porn hvia the as changed the way women are viewed, and not for the better. I do think a woman can be employed in porn and be a feminist, some might argue that is the ultimate empowerment. I don't know if I buy that though.

    To further add to the article on the gender based toys...this is the original LEGO ad they used in 1981 to sell LEGO to all children. I remember it, and I think it's awesome. My brother and I could mix up all the pieces, play together and make fantastic things. It was the one toy we both enjoyed alone, and together.

    I obviously did NOT make this and The LEGO Company has the rights to these images.

    The ad caption says:

    Have you seen anything like it? Not just what she's made, but how proud it's made her. It's a look you'll see whenever children build something all by themselves. No matter what they have created.

    Younger children build for fun.
    (Then it describes LEGO for children 3-7 year old.)
    Older children build for realism. (Then it describes LEGO for 7-12 year olds.)

    LEGO Universal building sets will help your children discover something very, very special: themselves.
    Lots of love, light and hugs to you all!
