- I wish it were so, jen. Leaving aside morgan, mckinnon, and other
- well known ones, it's unfortunately true here in the "happy valley" --
- pioneer valley of massachusetts (famed "lesbianville of _Nat'l
- Enquirer_ and _20/20_ fame) -- that a really huge percent of the
- "feminists" you meet are into the whole anti-porn nonsense. I haven't
- found it nearly so much so other places I've lived as I have here; and
- that's certainly not because there are any fewer feminists or lesbians
- elsewhere. I think, maybe, massachusetts is just so much more seeped
- in puritanical traditions than most other places. But anyway, the
- anti-porn "feminists" are fairly prevalent, at least in some
- geographic areas. (I'm not sure about netland, however, no real
- statistical sense). But this is most certainly not meant as a general
- condemnation of this area, there are many sane and wonderful feminists
- and/or lesbians here -- as anywhere.
