- It's difficult to see if your for real or not? Anyway pictures of
- women may be demeaning to woman, but that's only if they have to look at them.
- Since these pictures are not on display then I cannot see how they are
- demeaning to anyone expect those that have gone to the extended effort of
- having to down load , uudecode etc etc before being able to display them...
-
- Also I'm sure you will find that there is male porn there as
- well going by the group names, what about being demeaning to them... or
- are you one of these sexis types that has women on the brain :) :)
