A LBTIBR MS. DIDN'T PRINT
by Annie McCombs
(from Lesbian Bthics, Vol. III)
Dedication
I dedicate my letter to the memory of Cynthia Bnptrom, a
19-year-old Union Square San Francisco prostitute who, on or
about June 17, 1985, was bound, 1raa1ed and droned in a
bathtub onthe-.iob allesedly by a $72,000 a year Marin Coun·
ty, CA, banker named L. Arthur Byrd; Byrd also bad been
cbarsed · lut year with sel[llal harassment by two female bank
employees. The media reported that Bnptrom bad been warned
"not to allow the client to bind her." It also reported that this
·man had been arrested "on suspicion of murderins the prosti·
tote durins a bizarre sex fanta!Y (my empbuis). "• Cynthia Bns·
•trom joins Dorothy Stratton in the otherwise faceless and
namelea body count of our "disappeared"-altholllfh some of us
could add those we knew personally who didn't survive male
aupremacist eel[llal practices.
March 29, 1985
Dear Bditor of M!,. Mqazine:
1
I wu forced to drop out of hish achoo! because I wu •ay.
The atory is cluaic; the viciousness still stuns me. John Kennedy wu preaident. Aa a consequence, but not the only cost, I
!oat an education I wanted. The IOllll bu been permanent, like
much damqe is.
A ma.ior reason why the IOllll remained permanent is clua-bued
hierarchy. I underetand "poor" to mean that when my family
went on welfare, It wu an improvement. Unlike women published, quoted and ad.mi.red, "workins clus" bu been a coal,
both eluive and disablins. I personally underetand what poverty and lack of education mean for women.
You don't know bow many women who come from my reallty
have been uauainated because they were women; none of us
ever will. I do know that while poverty set them up, beins
bom a woman painted a tarset on them. And, while money or
education can and does help, neither suarantees a woman's
life. Theae alatere were YOWllf, usually teenqere, not always.
Many were not white. Some already bad kids. Some were pros·
titntes. I wu only lucky--1 atayed allve. They weren't so
lucky. Yon know?
If any of these dead women bad been luckier, abe mlsht have
read Mary Kay Blakely's article titled, "Is One Woman's Sexuallty Another Woman'• Pom0trraphy?" in Ms. April, 1985, like I
did. Then qain, some of 118 didn't read. Not atupid, not dlsln·
terested, just llllterate. Also, what we wanted wu somethins
to help us out. She misht lnatead have apent the Sl.75 on a
drink at The Study, a 4 a.m. breakfut at Pam Pam But, or
an ID Faro burrito. None of us were feminiats, then. But our
livea-and their deatha--are tersely why feminiam e:dsta for me
u a political practice. We're all in a lot of trouble if it does·
n't work. Murder and torture are male aupremacist ael[llal practices epidemically forced on women and children. What our
dead elatere tholllfht or hoped, we can't know; there le no record. We can sn- that they would rather be allve. I do know
that /or those women hideously tortured to death "for the
sex," there is no freedom of · apeech. No freedom. No speech.
No life. And, no credibility even in death. Other victims of
political repression are understood politically; it is a deathrisht. I mean, when a man is tortured to death anywhere, people see political pereecution; when the llllllle thins happens to
a "'oman the same people see sex.
Aa editore, you frame 11 make-believe question, puffins it up 1111
important by emblazonins the plain red cover of Ms. with onelnch-hish white letters focusins the word "sel[llality" dead-center. (My alternate title for Blakely'e work: "le One Man's Pornosraphy Another Woman's Life?") You, like the ACLU and
their phony lawsuit in Indianapolis, attempt to erlllle the harm,
the pomosraphy and the pomosraphers entirely. You frame
your question 1111 if to structure an .internecine feminist fisht.
You call it a "Philosophical Debatg." I say that women's risht
to our own lives is not debatable.
You allow the harm to continue unabated while so-called pro·
sex feminists pressure other women into acceptins male supremacist 88l[llal practices. This includes practices such 1111: The
slorification of the Marquis deSade; the protection and pursuit
of male privilese over other women; the exploitation of woll!i
en's personal sel[llal hi.stories complete with details of abuse.
If you think otherwise, your first responsibility is to fisure out
why you think it's OK for you to cost us our sisters (an also
our lives, our eel[llality).
Those of us who know what pomosraphy looks like up close,
know what it took to make It. We know how it's done; how
the editors lay it out cover to cover, reel to reel. We know
what to look for: name a sexual crime qainst a woman or a
child-we will show it back to you in the pom0trraphy sold 1111
aexual entertainment. We know how it works and what it does.
We know real names of real women in it and what they really
say about it. Some of 118 are those women.
You quote F.A.C.T.5 member Barbara Kerr, who Willi also quoted in the N.y. Native, Jan. 14-27, 1985, fanltins anti-pomosraphy activists because we "always talk about the body count.•
8y that, I 1r11ther, dead bodies don't count. Not mutilated or
brutalized ones either. Those alaters are the "disappeared" of
the women's movement. I will call out their names until the
day comes when sex means aomethlns et.e besides women's
dead bodies. I live for that day. On that day, I will be silent.
I will remember those sisters who have been permanently silenced. Then, I will thank those who chansed the world.
Notes
•0n fantasy: Andrea Dworkin'• AMICUS CURIAB brief filed in
aupport of the law qainst pomosraphy (co-authored with Cath·
arine A. MacKinnon, 7th Court of Appeals 1184-3147, Feb. 28,
1985, pp. 3-4): "The vocabulary of sexual fantasy often applied
to pom0trr11phy llll 11 •enre, le in fact the llllllfUase of prostitution where the act that a man wants done and pays to set
done le consistently referred to llll his 'fantasy,' 1111 if it never
happens in the real world. He soes to a prostitute and pays
her money so that •he will do what be tells her to do, and it
la this act that le called 'fantasy.'"
1
"say" then; "dyke" now; "lesbian" to you.
2
Henry Lee Lucllll likes to say that he did It "for the sex"
about his 360+ victhu, which include his 63-year-old ex-prostitute mother, who le now beins blamed for what he did to her
and the others (S.F. R111miner 10-28-34).
3
Materially, your editorial aidebar policy allowed you to sive
your aide of the pom0trr11phy qneeiion 6l inches more copy;
the parenthetical reference polntere refer to your side 30%
aore often; the number of eidebar voices run 2-1 in your favor in 3 out of 5 cues. Only Blakely knows what you did to
her article.

This practice became undeniable in 11 clus on lesbian-feminiAI; one atndent's roal Willi to deatroy aerious Inquiry while
creatiq 11 false conacionm--raieins eituation wherein she
could conaume live pomOlfl'llphy, i.e., U.teni.ns to "sexual hi.stories.•

F.A.C.T. le 11 irmall, elite croup of leftiat-profeaional types
orsanized only to obatruct other women's attempts to have an
anti-porn0trr11phy civil ria'hts law llll written by Dworkin/MacKinnon. (Your editorial sambit turnins this tiny croup into
half of the women's movement is 11 fraud.)
NEWS SHORTS
Using United Way's own 1984 statistics on nationwide allocations for Girl's Clubs, Boy's Clubs,
Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, Margaret Gates,
executive director of Girl's Clubs of America,
pointed out that boys' programs received $2.38
for every $1 for ·girls. The growth of Women's
Funds, from four to 27 in the past six years, ·has
raised consciousness at local United Ways. A
check of their recent allocations shows that battered women's shelters are finally beginning to
receive funding.
--excerpts, Marge Wyngaarden, New Directions
for Women, Vol. 15, No. 1, p. 8
Despite advances, "women remain concentrated in
'female intensive' occupations--jobs that have 60%
or more · women," according to a recent report
froin the Census Bureau. The leading occupation
for women was still that of secretary, followed
by elementary school teacher, bookkeeper, cashier and office clerk, most of which are relatively
low-paying jobs. The report showed that there is
still a large gap in income between men and
women holding the same jobs. Among men in professional speciality jobs, medium earnings were
$29,550 in 1983, compared with $19,200 for women in the same positions. For production craft
and repair occupations, the medium pay for men
was $21,520 compared with $13,250 for women.
In.. all ·ma.ior job groups, the earnings of women
working full-time were only about 2/3 of men's
earnings.

At Greenham Common, there are rumors of a sinister kind of crowd control. A Canadian Broadcasting Corporation TV documentary about the
peace camp at the base suggested that the women there are being "zapped" by microwave radiation. Many of them have experiencd symptoms
associated with such radiation, including drowsiness, headaches and ringing of . the ears, as well
as sev.ere menstrual disorders, vomiting and sunburn. The women were initially reluctant to publicize these effects, since the British media seizes on every opportunity to portray them as "hysterical." But, though there is no proof that they
are being deliberately "zapped"--a military base
puts out all kinds of radio emissions--there is
some evidence that the · base's disc cone antennas may be · so aligned that they beam energy at
the women~
--Maria Margaronis, Nuclear Times, March/ April,
1986
"Torch Song Trilogy" opened to great critical
acclaim in London last fall, but, because of the
customs crackdown, copies of the play cannot be
imported into the country. The ban is so strict
that customs officers seized 16 autographed play
scripts which author Harvey Fierstein sent to the
London cast and stage crew as opening night
gifts.
In February, 1985, the shipment to Benton Ross,
New Zealand's largest importer of lesbian and
gay books, was impounded. Thirteen Naiad Press
titles were seized, as well as Lesbian Sex from
Spinster's Ink.
In Canada, The Joy of Gay Sex recently joined
hundreds of other books and magazines on the
"customs banned books list." So far, The Joy of
Lesbian Sex and The Joy of Sex are not on the
list, but the former appears to be threatened. A
women's bookstore in Vancouver has reported
that copies of the book have mysteriously not
arrived when ordered. The threat is especially
worrying in Canada, where approximately 80% of
all gay and lesbian publications are imported
from the U.S.

they work with in any capac;ity--bookstore person. nel, writers of future books they may publish,
artists, illustrators, distributors, other publishers
with like publishing programs, etc. What this will
involve is a free place to stay without any rental or utility costs, so that the expense for staying is iust food, transportation (if you fly, you
will need a rental vehicle as this is very rural
north Florida with nothing resembling public
transportation). Availability is simply a matter of
applying by writing or telephoning and giving the
long weekend or one-week period you would like
to spend at the beach house. There is a detailed
list of information about the place, plus a list of
things that cannot be done there. The house sits
facing the Gulf of Mexico, a few moment's
casual stroll to the water, with the activities
most highly recommended going shelling, walking
the beach, fishing, watching the sunrise and
sunset, sitting on the screened-in porch.
For
company, there are sea birds and shore life, plus

may stay comfortably. Write Barbara Grier and

A LBTIBR MS. DIDN'T PRINT
by Annie McCombs
(from Lesbian Bthics, Vol. III)
Dedication
I dedicate my letter to the memory of Cynthia Bnptrom, a
19-year-old Union Square San Francisco prostitute who, on or
about June 17, 1985, was bound, 1raa1ed and droned in a
bathtub onthe-.iob allesedly by a $72,000 a year Marin Coun·
ty, CA, banker named L. Arthur Byrd; Byrd also bad been
cbarsed · lut year with sel[llal harassment by two female bank
employees. The media reported that Bnptrom bad been warned
"not to allow the client to bind her." It also reported that this
·man had been arrested "on suspicion of murderins the prosti·
tote durins a bizarre sex fanta!Y (my empbuis). "• Cynthia Bns·
•trom joins Dorothy Stratton in the otherwise faceless and
namelea body count of our "disappeared"-altholllfh some of us
could add those we knew personally who didn't survive male
aupremacist eel[llal practices.
March 29, 1985
Dear Bditor of M!,. Mqazine:
1
I wu forced to drop out of hish achoo! because I wu •ay.
The atory is cluaic; the viciousness still stuns me. John Kennedy wu preaident. Aa a consequence, but not the only cost, I
!oat an education I wanted. The IOllll bu been permanent, like
much damqe is.
A ma.ior reason why the IOllll remained permanent is clua-bued
hierarchy. I underetand "poor" to mean that when my family
went on welfare, It wu an improvement. Unlike women published, quoted and ad.mi.red, "workins clus" bu been a coal,
both eluive and disablins. I personally underetand what poverty and lack of education mean for women.
You don't know bow many women who come from my reallty
have been uauainated because they were women; none of us
ever will. I do know that while poverty set them up, beins
bom a woman painted a tarset on them. And, while money or
education can and does help, neither suarantees a woman's
life. Theae alatere were YOWllf, usually teenqere, not always.
Many were not white. Some already bad kids. Some were pros·
titntes. I wu only lucky--1 atayed allve. They weren't so
lucky. Yon know?
If any of these dead women bad been luckier, abe mlsht have
read Mary Kay Blakely's article titled, "Is One Woman's Sexuallty Another Woman'• Pom0trraphy?" in Ms. April, 1985, like I
did. Then qain, some of 118 didn't read. Not atupid, not dlsln·
terested, just llllterate. Also, what we wanted wu somethins
to help us out. She misht lnatead have apent the Sl.75 on a
drink at The Study, a 4 a.m. breakfut at Pam Pam But, or
an ID Faro burrito. None of us were feminiats, then. But our
livea-and their deatha--are tersely why feminiam e:dsta for me
u a political practice. We're all in a lot of trouble if it does·
n't work. Murder and torture are male aupremacist ael[llal practices epidemically forced on women and children. What our
dead elatere tholllfht or hoped, we can't know; there le no record. We can sn- that they would rather be allve. I do know
that /or those women hideously tortured to death "for the
sex," there is no freedom of · apeech. No freedom. No speech.
No life. And, no credibility even in death. Other victims of
political repression are understood politically; it is a deathrisht. I mean, when a man is tortured to death anywhere, people see political pereecution; when the llllllle thins happens to
a "'oman the same people see sex.
Aa editore, you frame 11 make-believe question, puffins it up 1111
important by emblazonins the plain red cover of Ms. with onelnch-hish white letters focusins the word "sel[llality" dead-center. (My alternate title for Blakely'e work: "le One Man's Pornosraphy Another Woman's Life?") You, like the ACLU and
their phony lawsuit in Indianapolis, attempt to erlllle the harm,
the pomosraphy and the pomosraphers entirely. You frame
your question 1111 if to structure an .internecine feminist fisht.
You call it a "Philosophical Debatg." I say that women's risht
to our own lives is not debatable.
You allow the harm to continue unabated while so-called pro·
sex feminists pressure other women into acceptins male supremacist 88l[llal practices. This includes practices such 1111: The
slorification of the Marquis deSade; the protection and pursuit
of male privilese over other women; the exploitation of woll!i
en's personal sel[llal hi.stories complete with details of abuse.
If you think otherwise, your first responsibility is to fisure out
why you think it's OK for you to cost us our sisters (an also
our lives, our eel[llality).
Those of us who know what pomosraphy looks like up close,
know what it took to make It. We know how it's done; how
the editors lay it out cover to cover, reel to reel. We know
what to look for: name a sexual crime qainst a woman or a
child-we will show it back to you in the pom0trraphy sold 1111
aexual entertainment. We know how it works and what it does.
We know real names of real women in it and what they really
say about it. Some of 118 are those women.
You quote F.A.C.T.5 member Barbara Kerr, who Willi also quoted in the N.y. Native, Jan. 14-27, 1985, fanltins anti-pomosraphy activists because we "always talk about the body count.•
8y that, I 1r11ther, dead bodies don't count. Not mutilated or
brutalized ones either. Those alaters are the "disappeared" of
the women's movement. I will call out their names until the
day comes when sex means aomethlns et.e besides women's
dead bodies. I live for that day. On that day, I will be silent.
I will remember those sisters who have been permanently silenced. Then, I will thank those who chansed the world.
Notes
•0n fantasy: Andrea Dworkin'• AMICUS CURIAB brief filed in

to pom0trr11phy llll 11 •enre, le in fact the llllllfUase of prostitution where the act that a man wants done and pays to set

her money so that •he will do what be tells her to do, and it

NEWS SHORTS
Using United Way's own 1984 statistics on nationwide allocations for Girl's Clubs, Boy's Clubs,
Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, Margaret Gates,
executive director of Girl's Clubs of America,
pointed out that boys' programs received $2.38
for every $1 for ·girls. The growth of Women's
Funds, from four to 27 in the past six years, ·has
raised consciousness at local United Ways. A
check of their recent allocations shows that battered women's shelters are finally beginning to
receive funding.
--excerpts, Marge Wyngaarden, New Directions
for Women, Vol. 15, No. 1, p. 8
Despite advances, "women remain concentrated in
'female intensive' occupations--jobs that have 60%
or more · women," according to a recent report
froin the Census Bureau. The leading occupation
for women was still that of secretary, followed
by elementary school teacher, bookkeeper, cashier and office clerk, most of which are relatively
low-paying jobs. The report showed that there is
still a large gap in income between men and
women holding the same jobs. Among men in professional speciality jobs, medium earnings were
$29,550 in 1983, compared with $19,200 for women in the same positions. For production craft
and repair occupations, the medium pay for men
was $21,520 compared with $13,250 for women.
In.. all ·ma.ior job groups, the earnings of women
working full-time were only about 2/3 of men's
earnings.

At Greenham Common, there are rumors of a sinister kind of crowd control. A Canadian Broadcasting Corporation TV documentary about the
peace camp at the base suggested that the women there are being "zapped" by microwave radiation. Many of them have experiencd symptoms
associated with such radiation, including drowsiness, headaches and ringing of . the ears, as well
as sev.ere menstrual disorders, vomiting and sunburn. The women were initially reluctant to publicize these effects, since the British media seizes on every opportunity to portray them as "hysterical." But, though there is no proof that they
are being deliberately "zapped"--a military base
puts out all kinds of radio emissions--there is
some evidence that the · base's disc cone antennas may be · so aligned that they beam energy at
the women~
--Maria Margaronis, Nuclear Times, March/ April,
1986
"Torch Song Trilogy" opened to great critical
acclaim in London last fall, but, because of the
customs crackdown, copies of the play cannot be
imported into the country. The ban is so strict
that customs officers seized 16 autographed play
scripts which author Harvey Fierstein sent to the
London cast and stage crew as opening night
gifts.
In February, 1985, the shipment to Benton Ross,
New Zealand's largest importer of lesbian and
gay books, was impounded. Thirteen Naiad Press
titles were seized, as well as Lesbian Sex from
Spinster's Ink.
In Canada, The Joy of Gay Sex recently joined
hundreds of other books and magazines on the
"customs banned books list." So far, The Joy of
Lesbian Sex and The Joy of Sex are not on the
list, but the former appears to be threatened. A
women's bookstore in Vancouver has reported
that copies of the book have mysteriously not
arrived when ordered. The threat is especially
worrying in Canada, where approximately 80% of
all gay and lesbian publications are imported
from the U.S.
