...launched a campaign to suppress all pornography--"the undiluted essence of anti-female propaganda." Brownmiller points out that pornography is a key factor in the development of many men. It is "like rape...a male invention, designed to dehumanize women, to reduce the female to an object of sexual access..." She adds: "...hard-core pornography is not a celebration of sexual freedom; it is a cynical exploitation of female sexual activity through the device of making all such activity, and consequently all females, 'dirty'." The perpetuation of rape is predicated on man's ability to perceive his victims as inanimate...
...access of love for both Avigdor and Hadass, Yentl reveals to Avigdor that she is not a man and files a bill of divorcement so that her two dearest friends may marry. Even for a fable, that is a little too fabulous. Shakespeare was able to get away with the man-woman mistaken identity gambit because he imbued it with humor, poetry and a sly fencing of the sexes.

Nowhere in the EIS does the Forest Service justify its assumption that the U.S. government should give Southern Californians more places to ski. They live in a sunny climate all year. Is it the federal government's role to give them winter sports too, when the costs...
...scene, replete with lines like "Is it so reprehensible to be human?" and "I pluck out the eye that offends me" is so overdone it falls completely flat. Ralph Martin, as Hasty, the tutor, doesn't help matters any by giving a generally lackluster performance that makes his sudden access of emotion in this sequence seem violently out of place. Bland and mechanical throughout most of the play, Martin's tutor is hardly human enough to merit either our pity or contempt...
