    • 1976 December 25, Julia London, quotee, “Boycotting Records”, in Gay Community News, volume 4, number 26, page 2:
      Our emphasis at this point is on the use of abusive sex in sexual relations as a selling technique. Of course we're not interested in seeing women objectivized in [non-violent] sexual ways for purposes of selling anything, but the immediate protest is to get rid of the violence...The images [on album covers] are part of an environment that trivializes brutality against women.
