    Add Review/Comment

    Some would suggest that we have moved to a society where Playboy is accepted on college campuses, Girls Gone Wild is an accepted spring break activity and pornography is a multimillion-dollar business. 

    What does this mean? Is there an affect on women and society? Discussions about pornography typically provoke 3 main points of view: 1) Pornography and other sex work is a choice. Women can take charge of their sexuality. It can be empowering. 2) Pornography is immoral and/or obscene. 3) Pornography contributes to a society that sexualizes and objectifies women. It contributes to the culture of violence against women. What do you think? Come to this interactive lecture with Rus Funk, a trainer, educator and activist. Rus Funk, MSW has been working for more than 25 years to address social, racial, gender and sexual justice throughout the country.
