To "Vickie@asarian.org" I can only say, RIGHT ON! I have stayed out of this porn-vs.-femmes debate up 'til now, but your posting just hit too close and made too much sense. Like you, I also have been employed in some very traditionally male-dominated areas (special effects modelmaking, screenwriting), and I have never encountered one instance of harrassment or sexism. I prefer to think that it's not that I'm wildly unattractive, but because I carry myself in a way that doesn't encourage negative reactions. It's all about being an individual, not a member of some prescribed, conditioned carefully-defined group. Overcome the conditioning, I say! Lisa --
