| Message | I am totally opposed to all forms of pornography for the reasons I have previously stated and that is that it degrades and dehumanises women, reducing their bodies to sexual commodities, which promotes and strengthens the patriarchal male domination of society. |

| Message | There is such a thing as gay-porn too. I understand it is a touchy subject, but is something best let in the open than forced under ground. Notice that low-crime liberal societies like Sweden and Holland are very liberal with porn laws. And Japan, which has some of the most open laws on porn of all, has one of the lowest instances of rape in the world. |

| Message | The vast majority of pornography involves the exploitation of women and it is also generally more violent and degrading towards women than any of its other forms although we are of course opposed to these as well. Whether pornography also encourages violent crime towards women or not is irrelevant because the fact is that by its very existence it in itself represents the abuse of women. It also undoubtedly reduces women's bodies to nothing more than sexual objects in the minds of some men and this is totally incompatible with the fight for equality between the sexes. |

| Date | 18:46:09, June 29, 2005 CET | From | Democratic Socialists of Endralon | To | Debating the Pornography |
| Message | Sex work in itself is exploitatation regardless of whether the women belong to a union or not. |
