Pornography falls under this paradigm. There is a false idea in our society that controlling pornography is somehow beneficial to us.
Pornography is an issue that serves as a scapegoat for the ills of society.
It is one of the few, if not the only, issues where religious reactionaries and radical feminists agree. The religious right blames it for moral bankruptcy while the militant feminist division blames it for the continued subjugation of women. Both these arguments warrant a closer examination. The religious right takes a stance against pornography in hopes of enforcing good Christian values among people. What this means is that people should not be having sex, and that women belong back in the kitchen baking pies and knitting sweaters.
