Good grief!  Grammar coals in net.rec.nude!  (*Note that I carefully
did not accuse you of _flaming_!  Thanks for the laugh!*)

I found "nake" as a noun in one of L.Neil Smith's books as a racist
insult used by chimpanzee citizens about homosaps.  So while you're
probably more historically correct than I, I'm a nake.

You are not responsible for the consequences of my choosing to believe
that god is an old woman with a beard; why should other women's
beliefs affect my behavior?  It's another variation on the theme "this
offends me, so you should stop." Accept that argument, and you'll end
up wearing clothes because others find naked flesh offensive!  I find
Jerry Falwell offensive -- does this obligate him to commit suicide?

Is porn sexist because men buy more than women do and are therefore
presumably driven by their glands to waste money?  Or what?

Glad we agree on this most important point!

>pornographers need not apply to net.rec.nude.

We don't have to agree here, thank goodness.
