(1) a deontological emphasis on treating one another as free and unique persons, where the recognition of such autonomy requires fundamental respect for one another as equals, and
(2) a virtue ethics emphasis on loving – that is, as the practice of learning to treat one another as individuals worthwhile in themselves.
Both of these directly challenge experiences of sex and sexuality that instead present a person as just body, as “just meat” – that is, as an object that (not who) exists solely as a means to our own ends and desires.
Ruddick does not directly mention pornography, but she does comment that “Obscenity, or repeated public exposure to sexual acts, might impair our capacity for pleasure or for response to desire”. This at least raises the question as to whether our enjoyment of the sorts of pornographic materials described above – i.e., ones that consistently depict women and children (and sometimes men) as exclusively the targets and agents of fulfilling male pleasure and desire – reinforces, and/or inclines us toward, adopting a dualistic attitude toward body and sexuality that sees the sexual other as “just meat.”
Insofar as our answer to this question is “yes,” then we would have reason to be cautious – perhaps very cautious – regarding consumption of pornography of these sorts.
