Yeah, that's the standard MacDworkinite line, and it's repeated in a really shitty new book by Robert Jensen, just published by South End, though it reads like it was just exhumed from a time capsule. But to make that case you have to eliminate lots of genres from consideration, which Jensen does quite explictly, and then declare the remainder the essential core of pornography. Visit Fleshbot and check out the links. Porn is a lot more varied than this crude definition.
