Feminist Pornography

Feminist pornography may seem like a bit of an oxymoron to some, since feminism and pornography have a long and volatile history. Some feminists have viewed pornography as detrimental to the way women are perceived in our society, and as contributing to the "objectification" of women. Others think that feminist pornography can help women become more sexually liberated. They believe that by embracing female sexuality - including through the visual representation of pornographic images - women become more empowered. These views are sometimes associated with the idea of sex-positive feminism.
