There is something wrong when a definition of pornography references
itself ONLY to women.  I am opposed to any legislation that does not
provide equal protection to all races, age groups, sexes, etc, etc.

DON'T send flames about...
	1.  Most pornography is of women (I agree)
	2.  Most victims are women (I agree)
	3.  I must be in favor of porn (I'm not)
	4.  Or any other irrelevancies (I probably agree with you)
