Feminist views on pornography

Feminist views on pornography range widely between schools of thought, from total condemnation of the medium as a form of violence against women, to an embrace of some pornography as a medium of feminist expression. Feminist debates on pornography reflect the breadth of feminist views on sexuality, relating to those on prostitution, BDSM, and other issues. Pornography has been one of the most divisive issues in feminism, particularly in Anglophone (English-speaking) countries. This division was exemplified in the feminist sex wars of the 1980s, which pitted anti-pornography activists against pro-pornography ones.
