While searching for information about the Larry Flynt/Afghanistan situation, I happened upon a great essay by Sarah Guzick for the University of Texas’
Campus Newsjournal of Women’s Issues: Issue 2 —
Larry Flynt: “Hero” for Free Speech, Insidious Woman Hater? Or Both?

At least The People vs. Larry Flynt puts the porn/free-speech issue on the table, even if it leaves out tons of relevant information. See the movie, think about porn, think about how it affects you, if it affects you at all. The doors of a dialogue on pornography have been re-opened. Let’s keep them open. Let’s discuss these issues even if they do not affect us consciously on a day-to-day basis. Regardless of our positions, we as women should be concerned. If this film has to be the catalyst for our discussion, then so be it.!
