Pornography: Men Possessing Women--Andrea Dworkin
The word pornography, derived from the ancient Greek porne and graphos, means “writing about whores.” Porne means “whore,” specifically and exclusively the lowest class of whore, which in ancient Greece was the brothel slut available to all male citizens….Woman as whore exists within the objective and real system of male sexual domination. The pornography itself is objective and real and central to the male sexual system….Pornography does not, as some claim, refute the idea that female sexuality is dirty: instead, pornography embodies and exploits this idea; pornography sells and promotes it.
