A concern that has come to the forefront of debate by feminist groups in recent years is the censorship of pornography. After reading arguments for and against the censorship of pornography, I have come to the conclusion that censorship of pornography would harm feminists goals by repressing the principle of freedom of expression and creating more difficulties that could possibly repress their own feminist goals.
Lorenne Clark’s view is that pornography is immoral and should be censored because it harmful to people and thus violates his or her rights. ... She believes that pornography portrays women as wanton sex objects for a male, and that a womans pleasure rests in pleasuring a man, and that this leads society to believe that women are depraved and fit objects for rape, bondage, torture and murder. She believes the degradation in pornography endorses these stereotypes of women. ... While acts of pornography, especially the more explicit forms may in fact be immoral; it is this belief that censorship will alleviate the suppression of women that is inconsistent with the principle of harm.
