Ms. Gallo First Draft of Ch. 2 essay “A First Amendment Junkie” by Susan Jacoby, is an essay based on woman who believes in the first amendment . Jacoby’s claim is that all restrictions on pornography are not acceptable. She also claims that it’s old news, how many women have the problems of having courteous “libertarian”. It’s understandable that the first amendment provides freedom of expression.
Meaning that pornography is an act of free expression, but pornography tends to display women as objects which are used for enjoyment and brings issues to society such as “kiddie porn” and child abuse.
Pornography’s purpose is to disgrace and complicate women’s reputation and society, therefore, it should be censored. The mistreatment which brutality and racism provide doesn’t compare with pornography. Pornography is more like a hobby with pleasure and entertainment while brutality and racism are violations of people rights. It’s acknowledgeable that pornography is very offensive to women in society but the injustice which is made in racism and brutality are much worse. People who go through racism and brutality are likely to die with the discrimination and abuse while people in pornography just have their reputations blackened.
Also feminist writers tend to create a women’s movement so that women can have more rights and a better reputation in society. Pornography, racism and brutality contain all common caused people who are against these terms and are in favor of more rights and a better circumstance so that others can obtain more power in society. But pornography doesn’t contain violence such as brutality and racism. Therefore, it’s a discourage to say that pornography is worse than Nazism.

    What is the difference between an action and a porn movie? They are both something you can rent, buy , watch , they both come in the same video formats. Thus the key difference that deferentiates pornography is its content – sex. Sex is something that is absolutely normal , and actually is the main drive behind the human evolution. Human beings are aware that except for reproduction, sex is also something that brings pleasure and is one of the basic human needs. Than what defines a pornographic movie is that first of all it is a movie(its format) and second of all it has content (sex). Therefore if movies are morally accepted in the society, and sex itself is also a normal event between two(or more) human beings , combining two “moral” statements should bring us a conclusion that pornography is moral. Pornography is a product of choice. The increased demand for pornographic movies is picturing quite vividly that people choose to watch porn on their own will, and thus there is nothing immoral in it. Pornography as a job is also usually a personal choice and thus in the whole process of creating an adult movie all the parties are willingly consenting to participate , which again is not immoral because every person is entitled to the right of his or her own body.…

    Feminists believe themselves to be an unfairly treated minority in society. They have banned together to defend other women across the nation from becoming victims of sexual obscenities and foul vulgarity. It is more important that the freedom of speech granted to pornography be censored more than the freedom of speech granted to other ideas such as lesbianism or abortion. Truly, it is amusing to see how feminists have assigned a level of tolerance towards different ideas and that pornography is at the top of their list. The single-mindedness and tunnel…

    MacKinnon’s push for the removal of the right to free speech is not only reckless, but extremely dangerous. As an American, MacKinnon fails to recognise that it is a fundamental democratic right recognized in the First Amendment of the United States Constitution and that freedom of speech is far too precious a protection to be eliminated. She attempts to justify her arguments by using the example of protecting pornography. This poor argument to such an important right in the US does not represent it in its full scope. The First Amendment ensures that speech ensures that every person has the opportunity to express their views.…
