Martin Salter

The contemptible Martin Salter - the MP whose imaginative suggestions of Guatemalan snuff films helped push this disgusting law through, has just said that 'There was very little opposition to the proposals'. More imagination on the outgoing member for Reading's part. Comment pages like this have all been pretty much unanimous in condemnation of the whole shameful business, even the ones on articles that innocently imagined this law would do good and not harm.

It will do its part in bringing an end to this bigoted government that holds its electorate, parliamentary procedure and legal and moral principle in equal contempt.

At the very least it's fair to say that "rape fantasies" propagate misogynistic myth.

It may be 'fair', but it isn't true. Or at least, the research that claims this fails to explain:

The demonstrable inverse relationship between porn availability and sex crime

The increased willingness to help a woman in distress after exposure to porn shown by research

The fact that of the millions who indulge in 'rape fantasies' in real life, a HUGE proportion are women.
