This F-ing Guy: Anthony Comstock
While researching Victoria Woodhull I learned a lot about someone who really sucked: Anthony Comstock. This dude viewed himself as God's crusader against sex, porn and "smut" in America. Also, smut apparently also includes women knowing how their reproductive systems work. So, yeah. Fuck this guy.
BUT! It's just really interesting to learn why he was so obsessed.
For this story, here are some of the really interesting articles I read. Enjoy! Cheers, bitches
