Unless sexual excitement is evil, our attitude to porn should not be any different. Similarly, the fact that capital commodifies leisure does not lead us to support attempts to extend the working day, but rather to defend our free time from the encroachments of capital, while seeking to transform it. It is of course true that representations which seek to sexually excite have a bad name. But it should be our objective to defy that. The low regard in which they are held is not due to the sexism, which we must criticise, but to the precarious legitimacy of sexuality itself.
Sexuality is still the realm of dirty, sinful, immoral, shameful impulses.
Not so with sexual value. The law does not recognise such a thing. To do so is to again single out certain representations not because they are sexist, but because they are sexual. Defending pornography helps us fight those prejudices, while struggling against sexism.
