Catharine A. MacKinnon’s view of pornography is part of a radical feminist critique of prevailing legal and social norms. MacKinnon’s argument is rooted in women’s adverse position in society as this is reinforced by pornography which she equates with the graphic and sexually explicit subordination of women. The piece discussed is an excerpt from her, “Feminism Unmodified: Discourses on Life and Law (1987)”.
