I have linked below some short readings on pornography. Please read them and be ready to discuss them in class on Monday. You may also post any questions or comments you have before Monday on the blog.
Andrew Dworkin: "Pornography: Men Possessing Women." (1981)
Avedon Carol: "A Feminist Argument Against Censorship" (1996)
Wendy McElroy: "A Feminist Overview of Pornography, Ending in a Defense Thereof" (2008) and "Banning Pornography Harms Women" (first published in PENTHOUSE magazine)
These two readings linked below are longer, and optional, but very interesting reading and I recommend them for anyone interested in this topic.
Catharine Lumby: "Why Feminists Need Porn" from Bad Girls: The media, sex and feminism in the 90's) (1997)
Annalee Newitz: "Obscene feminists: Why Women are Leading the Battle Against Censorship." (2002)
