Pornography is not created by the powerless people of the world; it is the capitalist empires, the Hugh Heffners and Larry Flints who turn the powerless and vulnerable into pornography.
Anne Mayne, Big Porn Inc.
It is true, and very much to the point, that women are objects, commodities, some deemed more expensive than others - but it is only by asserting one’s humanness every time, in all situations, that one becomes someone as opposed to something. That, after all, is the core of our struggle.
