Negative Positive
Title: Pornography is not freedom.
Review: As a survivor of the pornography industry I can state clearly that this book does not give an accurate representation of pornography or of it's effects on the people who are victimized by it. Strossen tries to cleverly rephrase porn into a context where it is presented as liberation as freedom and as a symbol of women's rights. But porn is none of those. Porn is violence against women and children.My feeling is that this book reads like a court room drama hearing from only one attorney, one viewpoint and eliminating all of the victims.Andrea Dworkin has several titles which accurately represent the reality of porn. A reality that I knew first hand. A reality that has left me scarred for life. All of the gloss on Ms. Strossen's arguments about pornography being liberating and pro women will do nothing toward healing my scars or those of other victims of porn.
Is the review positive or negative?
