This is a recording of both a speech, "Pornography: The New Terrorism," and a short essay, "For Men, Freedom of Speech; For Women, Silence Please." Both were originally published in "Letters from a War Zone" in 1988.
"Pornography is the propaganda of sexual fascism. Pornography is the propaganda of sexual terrorism. Images of women bound, bruised, and maimed on virtually every street corner, on every magazine rack, in every drug store, in movie house after movie house, on billboards, on posters pasted on walls, are death threats to a female population in rebellion."
