Posting porn in comments on feminist articles is a misogynistic attack.

In the same way that posting glossy, artfully-lit photographs of guns gleaming in their gun oil (gun-porn, if you will) is an attack on any board attempting a reasonable, considered discussion of prudent gun control measures. It's a not-so-subtle threat.

It's the context, stupid! To those that defend this behavior: Would you post a picture of KKK regalia on a civil rights forum? What could that possibly mean? The intent is pretty clear, isn't it? If it wasn't, the garden-variety, room-temperature I.Q. shock-artist types that engage in this behavior wouldn't do it. What about posting pictures of brass knuckles and/or blackjacks on a forum dedicated to discussing spousal abuse? WHEE-HEE; great fun! Right?

There are days I'm ashamed of the human race. The craven cowardice and idiocy (of a sizable portion of both sexes) is apparently endless.

PS. But back to my gender: It's irrelevant that you, a male, enjoy/defend/purchase pornography--perhaps even while considering yourself a feminist. That's an entirely different heated discussion/argument. As Aristotle said: The highest ethical behavior is the right thing, at the right time, with the right person, for the right reason.

Posting porn on feminist discussion forums? In case it wasn't entirely clear by now: The wrong thing, at the wrong time, with the wrong persons, for the wrong reasons.

Ladies: on this, I feel your pain and irritation. And sense of incredulity that anyone could ever argue otherwise.
