How does contemporary pornography affect the fight for gender equality? The author deconstructs the concept of liberty, creating a dichotomous positive/negative framework that questions the ostensible sense of liberation granted to women participating in pornography. The author proceeds to argue that outright censorship is both unnecessary and ineffective, instead outlining alternative action that could be taken in order to mitigate the adult film industry’s potential harms.
