"Francis Biddle's Sister: Pornography, Civil Rights, and Speech" (1984), p. 188
“
Show me an abuse of women in society, I'll show it to you made sex in the pornography. If you want to know who is being hurt in this society, go see what is being done and to whom in pornography and then go look for them other places in the world. You will find them being hurt in just that way.
— Catharine A. MacKinnon
