Pornography is considered by many to be an undesirable and unpleasant part of our society. However, I argue that it is necessary to express unpopular views under the Constitution. This article defends pornography as a constitutional right to free expression, under the First Amendment to the Bill of Rights. To illustrate this argument, I will first define pornography as a concept, then address the central arguments for keeping pornography legal and relatively unregulated – such as the development of the pornography debate in modern American law and how activist groups approach pornography censorship. adult entertainment. In addition to strengthening my argument for pornography, I will also demonstrate the strength of this argument in modern discourse by dispelling common myths in favor of pornography censorship, such as increased violence against, subjugation, and objectification of women, and then I will offer a substantive rebuttal. DEFINITION OF PORNOGRAPHY To take a sufficient position in the ever-growing debate on pornography, we must first define the concept around which this discourse is surrounded. A working definition of pornography is a piece of material whose primary purpose is to arouse erotic feelings. Radical feminists, however, define it strictly as “the act of sexual subordination of women” (Dworkin 1986). The existence of pornography is not a new invention. For years, humans have found certain depictions sexually arousing. Holmes and Holmes (2009), for example, explain how in ancient civilizations, in Mesopotamia for example, there were depictions of men and women in sexually explicit scenes on various household items, such as plates and sinks...... middle of paper ......pornography as an expression to be defended. I have outlined the ways in which pornography is currently combated in modern law, as well as liberal feminist arguments for pornography as expression. Radical feminists' arguments against pornography were addressed and denied, as they had no empirical support for their theoretical claims. Pornography has no substantial evidence supporting harm to women, in terms of subjugation or violence, and therefore cannot be regulated as a form of free speech. In conclusion, pornography is the perfect example of an unpopular form of expression. It is looked down upon by many, but it is nevertheless a necessary part of our society. Without protecting unpopular speech, we cannot progress as a society that embraces new ideas. If we do not protect the voices of the unpopular, we cannot call ourselves free.
