Description

On the question of pornography, people do not present a united front on either the legal and political remedies they propose, or definitions of sexuality and appropriate standards representing it. This study treats pornography within the context of the debate among feminists and also examines non-feminist views as they are embodied in popular opinion and social policy. It explores influential feminist ideologies as well as those that are only beginning to be voiced. Divisions over questions of sexuality, censorship and sexual roles and lifestyle are highlighted in an analysis of radical and libertarian feminist viewpoints and liberal, Marxist, socialist and black approaches to feminism are also evaluated. The book examines the male perspective on pornography also, and draws in the way men respond to the feminist debate on the subject. The final chapters assess this debate in terms of empirical research on pornography and legal and non-legal strategies for regulating pornography.
