 According to anti-pornography feminists, pornography is not harmless entertainment or cathartic, therapeutic fantasy. Nor is the harm it causes merely that of “offense.” Unlike moral conservatives, who object to pornography on the grounds of the obscenity of its sexually explicit content and its corrosive effect on the conservative way of life, the primary focus of the feminist objection to pornography is on the central role that pornography is thought to play in the exploitation and oppression of women (Lederer 1980; Itzin 1992; MacKinnon 1984, 1987, 1995; McGowan 2019; Watson 2018).
