Interview by Brendan O’Neill of feminist writer Genevieve Gluck.
I obviously think she is on to something here.
Brendan O’Neill: What role do you think pornography has played in the transformation of womanhood into something anyone can identify into?
Genevieve Gluck: A lot of it starts with the sexualisation of surgery, which really got going through the pornography industry with things like breast implants. Within those procedures in pornography, we see the heightening and objectification of certain aspects of the body, and the sexualisation of body modification itself. Whether it is the breasts, the buttocks, the lips or any feature that you’re trying to highlight, it all points to a fetishisation of particular body parts.
