Overview: "Pornography is central in creating and maintaining the civil inequality of the sexes. Pornography is a systematic practice of exploitation and subordination based on sex which differentially harms women…"
With those bold words began the groundbreaking local anti-pornography law drafted by writer Andrea Dworkin and lawyer Catharine A. MacKinnon. Their completely legal approach — in which pornography is defined as sex discrimination and therefore a violation of civil rights — would allow anyone injured in pornography to fight back by filing a civil lawsuit against pornographers. First passed roots in December 1983 in Minneapolis, where it was supported by a grassroots coalition of women, people of color, neighborhood groups, and the city’s welfare poor and working poor, this new law has already transformed the way people of conscience understand the devastating impact of pornography on women’s right to equality. This new law also offers hope: an effective legal tool for making sex quality real.
In this comprehensive and casy-to-read guidebook, the coauthors of the antipornography civil-rights ordinance explain:
– How pornography hurts women and how and why the civil-rights ordinance would make a difference
– Why the pornography issue is so important to women’s equality
– The truth about the antipornography civil-rights ordinance – what it is, what it does, what it means, how it works
– What you can do to stop the pornographers and further women’s equality.
