History of Feminism

Or Omni. Seems like all the "liberal" ish magazines had seduction articles aimed at men--but I was a kid reading whatever I could get my hands on. Omni always had cool futuristic stuff to an 11-year-old nerdy girl like me--I didn't understand the Penthouse connection until later.

I too have two teenage daughters and I'm also trying to do my part. Being informed to protect them is one thing. However, we all have triggers, and knowing one's personal limit so that one stays functional to actually make change in the world is part of the balance of activism.

I commend you for being strong in this area. The whole world of PUA and pornography upsets me so much and I often have to take a break. I was part of that anti-porn activism group in the late 80s here in CH out of which grew a number of current scholars on the subject (and before that volunteered a lot in the battered women's movement), so it's a long term thing with me. But as pornography got more brutal over the ensuing two decades and in fact affected (nearly destroyed) a person close to me, I just had to check out at times, or else I couldn't have provided other things for my daughters to get them to a happy, productive adulthood.
