Chapter 12: Pronography

This chapter was also a good one. I agree with a lot of it as well but would like to add onto the part about the images of women giving men the power. While that is true in most ways, women also have the power when they are being seductive to control men, as long as they aren't submissive. Even though this isn't really a dignifying thing or even a good thing to do, women's bodies can be used as tools to have power over men. It is still sexist though and can be degrading. And unfortunately, the stereotype of sexy women being very skinny and having nice-sized "assets" is what people want. We definitely live in a world where sex sells.
