- The point to which makes pin-ups a negative is their degradation of
- the female. A magazine which outrightly describes demeaning of a
- gender is guilty of the self-same negativity.

- I think he did. It's the same reason that many men's magazines have
- been banned from places to accomodate the (rightful) discomfort they
- effect on women.
-
- The problem I see with threads like this is that they incite compet-
- ition rather than cooperation. It's assinine to to take the position
- that one gender doesn't need the other. Everyone has a contribution
- to make, and anything which denegrates that is guilty of stupidity.
