I just joined the group. Thank you for letting me in. I've been searching for a
group
like this for quite some time. I am against the media depiction of women, yet
every
time I speak out, I'm accused of being 'jealous' or 'prudish'. I'm neither. I
volunteer
at a Womens' shelter, and have learned that there is a link between pornography
and
violence. There are, as you know, many studies about this. My complaint is that
they
do not get the attention that they deserve.

Currently, there are four women whom have a large 'fan' base. All four on
participated
in pornography, including photos of anal sex and public maturbation (Vanessa
Paradis); actual penetration of another woman with fingers(Denise Richards);
Janet
Jackson's 'surprise'
breast exposure; and Naomi Campbell simulating sex with a plastic blow-up jaguar
(and the pictures with Madonna).

I want to help stop this, but at times I feel powerless. I am thankful for this
group, if
nothing else, to help me vent.

If I may suggest, which I'm sure has been suggested before is a boycot of the
products they endorse, and a very vocal writing campaign to advertisers.

I don't know when music/modeling/acting added the prerequisite of pornography in
order for a woman to be successful.
