or the ideas about porn?

All philosophers have said some things we don't like - in addition to things we (might) like. In this case, Dworkin is not the only feminist who opposes porn and it's effects for women. Nor is she the focus of this article.

Frankly, many feminists think the same thing. about the objectification of women. Why not engage with the ideas? Did you read the article??
