In particular, the libertarian defense of internet pornography that has been ratified by some leading feminists would appear to be on a collision course with the empirical reality of pornography’s harms. Just as secondhand smoke finally shattered the “so-what?” social consensus about tobacco, so might the potential harms to others — marriages, jobs, and relationships disrupted; loved ones and children inadvertently exposed — ultimately threaten to deep-six the current “so-what?” consensus about pornography.
