I emphasize this for three reasons.įirst, there are feminists who defend, and even celebrate, the pornography industry. Today I want to speak about the centrality of the feminist critique to understanding pornography, in the context of a larger feminist critique of sexual exploitation and men’s violence. These academic and activist activities are connected: Every year, more and more scholarly research in psychology and sociology is published that validates the insights of that feminist analysis, which makes the social movement more important than ever. The conclusions I reached in my academic work about the harms of pornography led me contribute to the feminist anti-pornography movement, focusing on organizing public education events and writing for general audiences.
I am a retired University of Texas professor who began studying the pornography industry in 1988, which led to a doctoral dissertation, scholarly articles, and three books on the subject. My thesis: The pornography industry does the worst to women and brings out the worst in men. Share on WhatsApp Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Telegram Share on Reddit Share on Email
