   "Having worked in a magazine newsstand for seval months, I've had a
wonderful opportunity to watch men buying pornographic magazines.  To a
man, these men were pathetic, weak, simpering men afraid to look me, a
woman, in the eye when they made their purchases.

   "If pornography hurts anyone, it hurts the men who buy it, who use
it to avoid learning how to deal with a real woman and cope with a real
society.

   "To the feminists who hate pornography, I've just got one thing to
say: GET A LIFE, SISTER!"
