Mother Jones' latest issue has an article on the new
feminist pornography - porn for women, by women.
An interesting article.  She discusses
a little, but not at any great length, the question
of whether porn can ever be feminist, and discusses
the issue of bondage in fantasy.  Anyone read the
article and want to discuss it?  I'd also like
to hear from anyone who has seen any of these videos.
She said most of the new videos were on the boring side,
with many women admitting that they skipped ahead to 
the "good parts."  The videos put out by On Our Backs
were described as being a pretty far out, or something
to that effect.  Sorry if this subject has been
discussed here before.  I'm just back to reading
after a long absence due to a release...
