I
would like an opinion on "Does
pornography degrade women and
violate the respect for persons".
Please answer by supporting
your answer from a philosophical
standpoint by stating which
theory is represented, such
as belief in kantian respect
or utilitarianism, etc. This
opinion need to be completed
by Gloria Steinem or a well
credited person with an M.D.
or PHD degree. Thank you, Shay

Thanks
for your note. Because I am
not "a well credited person
with an M.D. or PHD degree,"
I'm afraid I can't help you.
For Gloria Steinem's views on
pornography, you should read
her article "Erotica v. Pornography"
which can be found in her book
Outrageous Acts and Everyday
Rebellions. For other
opinions, I recommend Prof.
Diana E.H. Russell, who is a
professor at U.C. Berkeley and
has written extensively on this
issue, including "Making Violence
Sexy."
