This study is not written as a diatribe against eroticism or a
moral crusade to stamp out sex. It is intended as an attack,
rather, on a multi-billion pound international industry that, it
argues, systematically abuses and degrades women, an industry whose
product is at the root of cases of routine discrimination and
horrific violence. Many writers, both women and men, have
contributed to this collection. Each has their own view, but they
all hold two beliefs in common: opposition to censorship and the
conviction that until pornography is eradicated, women's status in
society can never be equal to men's. They argue that the regulation
of pornography under the Obscene Publications Act is intentionally
ineffective, permitting the mass-marketing of women's genitals and
anuses, and the sale of rape and sexual assault as "entertainment"
for men, but censoring art, literature and homosexuality. Many of
the contributors argue instead for sex discrimination legislation
to enable civil actions against the pornography industry where
pornography could be proved to have caused harm, or for legislation
like the Race Relations Act where pornography could be shown to
have incited sexual hatred an
