Sexism
Sexism is commonly considered to be discrimination against people based on their sex rather than their individual merits, but can also refer to any and all differentiations based on sex.
Sexism and pornography
Some express the view that pornography is a kind of sexism, because in usual pornographic performances the part of women is limited to a "pleasure-object" for a male spectator. The German feminist Alice Schwarzer is one representative of this point of view. She has brought this topic up again and again since the 1970s, in particular in the feminist magazine "Emma".

On the other hand, some famous pornographic actresses such as Teresa Orlowski and Timea Vagvoelgyi have publically stated that they don't feel themselves to be victims of male sexism.
