Реферат: Catherine A MackinnonS Only Words Essay Research

Pornography clearly resembles the theory of Dominance. The important difference

between men and women is that women get *censored*ed and men ?*censored* women? (MacKinnon,

499. Fem Juris) socially and constitutionally. This in turn renders them incapable of an

individual self. When protected dehumanizing speech (pornography) is ramped in the

market, subordination of women occurs. The more violent speech gets, it seems that more

protected it becomes. The more pornography expands, the more protected it becomes.

Therefore, the more pornography is produced, the more unequal women become, and there

speech is less heard and reduced to ?Only words?. (MacKinnon) Women are then left to

remain silent.

If true equality between male and female persons is to be achieved, we cannot ignore

the threat to equality resulting from exposure to audiences of certain types of violent

and degrading material.

(Mackinnon, 101)
