SummaryUnder the First Amendment, pornography is sometimes protected as freedom of speech in our country today. However, pornography harms our society in several ways. Pornography is detrimental to attitudes and views about healthy sexuality, particularly the views held by men. Pornography promotes violence and simultaneously makes a violent rape culture more acceptable by using free speech as its excuse. It also celebrates masculine dominance and devalues equality with women. While the feminist reclamation of pornography could potentially be seen as empowering, on a whole, pornography still remains emotionally destructive for both sexes, including but not limited to those involved in the creation and distribution of pornography, those who view it, and those who become the perpetrators and victims of violence as a result of its subtle manifestation in their lives.
