If they were handsome, slender men, would you still be so disgusted?

Have you been into an American toy store lately? Walked down the doll aisle?

Way to tar an entire art form with one racist brush.

What your neighbors think of you and what the law allows are two different things. When one begins to think that everything one disapproves of should be made illegal, one has entered the authoritarian zone for sure.
Any of my friends (or posters on other forums) would be glad to tell you how thoroughly I disapprove of the entire porn industry on feminist grounds, but I still uphold the rights of people to express themselves in ways I find disgusting and demeaning, as long as no one is actually harmed in the process.
The right to express an opinion is more important than the opinion itself.
