Letter: The pros and cons of Red Hot Dutch
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: I think that both of your male correspondents who were amused by Lord Rees-Mogg's concern about Red Hot Dutch (Letters, 23 January) might be somewhat less sanguine about the subscribers to this video channel if they were women. Intellectually, the need to preserve liberal media laws may seem overriding. But to many of us women, who are afraid to walk on the streets unaccompanied at night (and even increasingly in some quarters by day), pornography is associated too often with hostility and violence towards our sex.
Allowing the unfettered distribution of such material, by whatever means, is an indication that violence towards women is an evil to be tolerated. Are there no
limits?
