Brian McNair on mainstream acceptance of porn
Scottish media scholar Brian McNair examines the increasing mainstream acceptance of pornography in an op-ed piece for the Scotsman. He touches on a range of political, cultural and academic matters, and argues that a society's acceptance of porn goes hand-in-hand with women's rights, gay rights and sexual freedom generally. "Indeed, far from causing an increase in sexual violence or misogyny, the expansion of porn coincides with huge improvements in women’s and gay rights in the West. Those places in the world where porn is banned or most tightly controlled, usually for religious reasons, are also those where women and gays are most brutally treated."
