The link between the religulous anti-porn factions [View all]

that is to say the religulous moralists and the extreme feminists. Courtesy of Andrew Sullivan;l

It started here:

I wondered how long it would be before many leading theocons realized that their view of politics was remarkably similar to that of many conservative Muslims. Now theocon-in-chief, Robbie George, is allying with a Muslim intellectual in a crusade for banning porn on hotel TV. In an open letter to hotel owners, this campaign against freedom is framed as a battle as important as, yes, civil rights . . .

Continued here, which proves that the prudish authoritarians of left and the theocratic right are absolutely united on this issue:

Pornography is degrading, dehumanizing, and corrupting. It undermines self-respect and respect for others. It reduces persons—creatures bearing profound, inherent, and equal dignity—to the status of objects. It robs a central aspect of our humanity—our sexuality—of its dignity and beauty. It ensnares some in addiction. It deprives others of their sense of self-worth. It teaches our young people to settle for the cheap satisfactions of lust, rather than to do the hard, yet ultimately liberating and fulfilling, work of love.

And Sully gets the last, decisive word:

Human trafficking is a different subject, however tangentially related it might be to some pornography. Ending all hotel porn because of it would be like banning people from owning pets because of puppy mills. But our basic difference is in my belief in the freedom of people to watch what they want to watch and to perform in what they wish to perform. That includes porn.
