Pornography and feminism It surrounds us constantly. It cannot be avoided. Pornography is an early part of the entertainment mainstream. Whether in magazines or music, pornography is subject to gender bias. The word pornography can be defined as the depiction of erotic behavior aimed at causing sexual arousal. The denigration of women is his only accomplishment. The poses they strike and the acts they perform are all part of the discrimination women face. The only thing pornography offers is negative effects on women. Pornography, whether on the page, in music or on the screen, is degrading to all women. Magazines, posters and other materials portray women as less than human. A woman in Florida said she was harassed by her male colleagues who put up graphically sexual posters and calendars, some of which showed women being abused. Among the offensive materials was a poster featuring a frontal view of a naked woman with a dehumanizing USDA choice printed on it. Additionally, a teacher in Canada asked the Ontario Human Rights Commission to order the removal of pornographic magazines from convenience stores on the grounds that they create a hostile environment for women. Playboy and Penthouse, two of the most popular men's magazines that feature insightful articles on current issues or events, also degrade women. Psychologist Marty Mckay says the only way to protect women's rights is to ban the sale of skin magazines in corner shops. Men are not placed in the same portion, and this is precisely where the discrimination lies. When talking about pornography in action, X-rated videos are the first thing that comes to mind. A store in downtown Toronto that sells smutty films and scary-looking sex toys has ultra-cool sex tapes for under $25.30. One scene contains two men simultaneously performing anal and vaginal intercourse with a woman. The obscenity law contained in paragraph 8 of Article 163 of the Criminal Code of Canada states that a work is absent and illegal if one of its dominant characteristics involves undue sexual exploitation. A Canadian court created three obscenity classifications. The first, any material that mixes explicit sex and violence or includes children. The second, works involving explicit sex and degradation that encourage violence or harm towards women. Finally, other sexually oriented materials are permitted because obscenity law cannot inhibit the celebration of human sexuality..
