List of prominent anti-pornographers [View all]

Last edited Mon Dec 16, 2013, 09:33 AM - Edit history (5)

Here's my list of anti-pornographers. The purpose of this list is to counter the notion that the "sex negative" label is unfair to anti-pornographers. I'm not so sure this is the case. The trend of anti-pornographers seems to be either neo-Victorian (no sex outside of heterosexual marriage) or anti-PIV(sex). I'm sure there must be exceptions, but not many it seems.

Here's the rules.

1) To be an anti-pornographer, the person must advocate some sort of banning/censorship/suppression/reparation scheme. Simply condemning pornography doesn't count.
2) Prominence requires someone with a real name (not anonymous bloggers) who comes from academia or is a widely read author on the subject and spends/spent a considerable amount of their time on the subject.

Here's my list. Feel free to add your own. If you don't like my rules, please start your own thread. I'm not talking about people who don't fit that criteria. The person can be living or dead. If someone thinks a person on this list doesn't fit the criteria, I'm open to modifying it.

1) Judith Reisman
2) Ed Meese
3) Charles Keating
4) Susan Brownmiller
5) Andrea Dworkin
6) Mary Anne Layden
7) Catharine MacKinnon
8) Gail Dines
9) Jerry Falwell
10) Laura Schlessinger
11) Sheila Jeffreys

Edited to add:

12) Phyllis Schlafly
13) James Dobson
14) Rick Santorum
15) Michele Bachmann
16) Shelly Lubben
