摘要

反對色情的女性主義健將麥肯能以及藍騰主張：自由社會的成員不能有色情權利，因為色情刊物不僅會使得婦女遭到「噤聲」的命運，還會使得婦女臣屬於男性，因而侵害了婦女的平等權。藍騰更進而主張：色情刊物不僅會導致婦女臣屬於男性，其本身就是類似於「種族隔離」等歧視言論的「臣屬行為」。麥肯能以及藍騰因此主張：色情不僅侵犯了婦女的言論自由，還侵犯了其平等權，所以當然應該加以禁止。本文擬由語言哲學角度出發，深入探討麥肯能以及藍騰「色情侵犯婦女的平等權」此一主張，期能評判其主張是否能夠成立。

Famous anti-pornography feminists, Catharine MacKinnon and Rae Langton argue that people do not have a right to pornography because pornography subordinates women and silences them by restricting their ability to act in protest against it. Langton emphasizes the act of creating porn. She asserts that pornography not only leads to subordination-it is itself an act of subordination. Therefore, pornography destroys political liberty and equality and should not be allowed. In what follows, I will examine how MacKinnon and Langton attempt to establish that the creation of porn and in so doing denies women equality. I will argue that MacKinnon and Langton fail to show how pornography destroys women's political equality.
