Abstract

Gives a brief history of depiction of women including pornography and shows how that depiction takes on different forms and functions depending on needs of the dominant group at the time Though many find degrading depictions of women distasteful they disagree on the need for regulation Like racial depiction which is deeply embedded in culture the harm of pornography is rendered invisible and makes depiction of female subjugation resistant to regulation
