Pornography and Social Policy: Three Feminist Approaches

Arguments regarding sexuality and sexual expression have been central issues in feminist theory. This article explores three opposing feminist models for interpreting sexual imagery—the radical feminist, the libertarian feminist, and the socialist feminist-the conceptions of sexuality and representation on which each is based, and the resulting social policy positions regarding pornography. It analyzes the commonalities, differences, strengths, and weaknesses of each perspective and the corresponding policy argument and discusses the divisiveness of the feminist debates on pornography.
