On 4/6/05, The Local, "Sweden's News in English", announced that Swedish civil servants, soldiers and politicians would be required to choose porn-free hotels whenever possible. "In the military, we have been working to curb attitudes that are degrading to women, which in no way can be accepted," [Major General ke Jansson] said.The initiative stemmed from discussions with Swedish women's organization ROKS, which claims that x-rated movies lead to increased abuse of women and widespread degrading attitudes towards them."We talk to a lot of abused women, and in many cases it turns out that men's interest in porn is linked to the abuse," head of the ROKS campaign Tina Olby told AFP......the military will not stop at just hotels in its drive to wipe out "unacceptable" attitudes towards women, [Jansson] said."We have also decided to halt the sales of so-called men's magazines in all stores" on military bases, he said.See also:Truth About LodgeNet: "Titles of LodgeNet pay per view [ Full article ] |
