On treating things as people: Objectification, pornography, and the history of the vibrator
Hypatia 21 (2):45-61 (2006)
| Abstract | : This article discusses recent feminist arguments for the possible existence of an interesting link between treating things as people (in the case of pornography) and treating people (especially women) as things. It argues, by way of a historical case study, that the connection is more complicated than these arguments have supposed. In addition, the essay suggests some possible general links between treatment of things and treatment of people | |||||||||
