Chomsky on pornography

Noam Chomsky. (source)

The fact that people agreed to it and are paid is about as convincing (an argument) as we should be in favor of sweatshops where women are locked into a factory, working 15 hours a day.

The factory burns down and they all die and yeah they were paid and consented doesn’t make me in favor of it.

And as to the fact that it’s some people’s erotica, well that’s their problem, doesn’t mean I have to contribute to it.

If they get enjoyment out of the humiliation of women, they have a problem.
