No! I call anti-sex people 'anti-sex' that is what they are. People who oppose
to prostitution on the grounds of capitalism (not sex) i call 'anti-capitalists'
that is not wrong.
Discreditation of those views are is not done by me but by those views themselves.

I agree, that is why i am not going to even respond to the act of harassment
when the person has clearly crossed the line and was not arguing against what i
was saying, but rather accusing me of things that i have not done.
Harassment is not 'disagreeing with anti-sex feminists', but trolling the e-mail
lists is an act of harassment.
