From: utzoo!decvax!decwrl!flairvax!ellis Newsgroups: net.singles Title: Re: Birth Control and Vulgarity Article-I.D.: flairvax.110 Posted: Fri Apr 15 14:34:19 1983 Received: Sun Apr 17 08:14:34 1983 References: sdcvax.174 I am amazed that there still exist chauvinists out there who continue to speak of "women who sleep around" as if most people still lived in the ugly days of pre-60's sexual "morality". So this group is "Stumbling down the path to vulgarity" because of its discussions on asking about birth control prior to sex? It seems to me, that the point of raising such an issue is the avoidance of abortion -- vulgar, maybe, but noble (in the highest sense) because everyone surely agrees it is a tragedy to destroy partly formed humans. "Moreover, I can't believe that men who sleep with women of this type would bother to ask about birth control except to please the women" Pleasing the woman ("women of this type" ??? ... I pity you) has little to do with it. I simply hope to prevent further violence in this already-too-sad universe. Perhaps we should make a new group called net.singles.prehistoric and send all this kind of drivel there... (except that's too many characters).
