Sun also doesn’t address the issue of so-called “feminist pornography,” the existence of which would seem to go against her argument. Instead, she posits that any gain women get out of being involved in the industry is inherently problematic, since women are always subjugated in the porn industry, both physically and economically (she’s even authored a scholarly paper about how women-directed porn isn’t really any better than regular porn, but this doesn’t get discussed in the film). It’s not that I disagree with her; it would just make the film stronger if these issues were explored in more depth in the actual film rather than being relegated to the “bonus feature” section.
