Q

Sallie tisdale

A

if more women involved in porn, would change the way in which women are portrayed to men though porn
agrees with MacKinnon: always the man who decides what is obscene and forbidden
but disagrees that pronography is necessarily violent: can be used to open men’s minds, give them ideas and teach an expanded sense of normality
women need to improve porn
- would broaden voice of women
- broaden scope of the genre
- broaden power-base of women
porn is good because separated from reproduction, marriage and heterosexuality
