Description

Catharine MacKinnon argues that pornography is neither speech nor free expression, but rather an act of intimidation and subordination. In "Only Words", she contends that discriminatory practices protected as free speech perpetuate inequality. MacKinnon examines cases of harassment in the workplace and on college campuses, as well as First Amendment cases involving Nazis, Klansmen, and pornographers. She shows how protecting discriminatory practices under the guise of free speech undermines equality. This book presents a powerful critique of a legal system that fails to address the harm caused by words and images that target specific groups based on race and sex.
