Turning Rape into Pornography: Postmodern Genocide  

"With this war, pornography emerges as a tool of genocide." --"Turning Rape into Pornography: Postmodern Genocide" by Catharine A. MacKinnon

"In what is called peacetime, pornography is made from rape in film studios, on sets, in private bedrooms, in basements, in alleys, in prison cells, and in brothels. It should be no surprise to find it being made in a “rape theater” in a Serbian-run concentration camp for Bosniaks [Muslims] and Croatians [Catholics] in Bosnia-Herzegovina — as reported above by one survivor, a twenty-eight-year-old Croatian and Bosniak woman. Still, it comes as a shock, a clarifying jolt. When Linda “Lovelace” reported her coercion into the pornographic film Deep Throat, Gloria Steinem reworded the essence of the disbelief and blame Linda encountered as amounting to asking her, “What in your background led you to a concentration camp?” If this was ever only an analogy, it isn’t anymore."
