J.M Coetzee's "The Harms Of Pornography"

wrong, but also involves the theory that its existence requires, or possibly
even causes, an inequality between men and women. I ask you, how could
something like pornography cause an in-equality between men and women when women

technological age. The age of the Internet. Never before has pornography been
so readily available. Through mail-order, at secret places around the schoolyard,
or simply down at the local newsagent or video store, pornography can be
purchased in any form or media. I know children, some as young as ten years,

Rights Of Egyptian Women
<view this essay>.... to this pattern. Anthropological evidence
suggests that unusual circumstances in Ancient Egyptian culture provided for
women to be given equal status to their male counterparts: notably, matrilineal
inheritance and emphasis on the joy of family life over maintaining ethnic
