The movie, despite its glorification of violence and subjugation, cannot rightly be criticized as an aberration of sick female minds. Any attempt to censor the movie could only be supported by those who fail to see that it vividly expresses an injustice perpetrated upon women. Or by those who seek to keep the injustice in place and intact. Fantasy expresses wishes, not facts. So is pornography.
Pornography is about sex because that's an arena in which men feel they are often treated unfairly.
Pornography, if we can be open enough to hear it, is telling us about a difficult problem whose solution will require sincere cooperation between men and women. Censoring pornography is nothing more than killing the messenger for conveying a truth we'd rather not hear. Back to the NCFM Reading Room list. Back to the NCFM Home Page.
