Which is really excellent. As is Susie Bright's, which Dennis cites.

I don't think anyone could deny she was onto something, as Lenin's Tomb said. But, as Susie points out, she was hostile to the women who'd read her and then tried to make their own style of porn - following LT's advice: "rather than disavowing this problem, maybe we should consider how a non-capitalist and non-patriarchical pornography might be different." Only they started doing it more than 20 years ago.
