Feminist analyses of pornography have refocused the issue by emphasizing the concrete and physical harms it causes to women and have viewed it as a form of sex discrimination. While ordinances based on a feminist analysis have not been upheld by the courts, they provide a basis for a compromise approach to resolving the obscenity issue. Under such a compromise, pornography would be defined as violent, sexually explicit material without redeeming artistic, political, or scientific value. This approach would preserve the form and protections of the traditional standard, while undercutting the notion that sexuality is itself harmful and shifting the focus from moral to physical and psychological harms. In addition, such an approach more clearly defines pornography and narrows the scope of potentially regulated speech by adding a new prong to the existing definition. 217 footnotes.
