I don't believe that Hustler alone is the problem, but I do think  
that the straight porn market on the whole is.  Imagine a situation:  
in 95% of college classrooms in America, teachers only talk to male  
students and do not bother to address female students at all.  Do you  
think that would be a problem?  If it is, so is the straight porn  
market.  If sexuality is as important as education for women in  
particular and human beings in general, we ought to demand a reform  
of the straight porn market, so that there will be equality in porn  
production and consumption.
