No Taboo Is Safe - Mary Harrington

#society #rape

The central claim of the sexual revolution is that we can make sex “safe” and therefore need place no guard-rails on the specifics save individual consent, which is sacrosanct. But those who act as though we can safeguard against sexual wrongdoing, simply by emphasising consent in this way, are at best woefully naive. For the driving impetus of the porn industry that revolution also unleashed is monetising the exposure of taboo: a direction of travel that always ends in violence, violation, and atrocity.
