 I'm sorry you seem to have confused me with someone who's a complete
 fuckwit, but I'm sorry to admit I'm actually a well-informed feminist.
 I already know full well everything you stated, and also much more about
 the issue than you are ever likely to know given that you don't even
 recognize the difference between nudity and pornography. I'm also sorry
 to say that the articles are the worst feature of the magazines. I'd like
 to see the streets of Los Angeles if anyone there ever tried to publish
 a magazine as racist as these publications are sexist. Think about it.
