ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on an interview with Antonia Burrows about pornography. She have been coming to Hungary for twenty years as a visitor and living there since 1988. She joined the Social Policy Department, where she teach English, women's studies, and media studies. In her spare time she works with the Feminist Network. They have been in existence since June 1990. Their first campaign was against pornography, and for that people have to know that in 1988-1989 the communists liberalized, not by giving the people any real power but by giving them pornography. The communists had allowed abortion, but they had done absolutely nothing about contraceptives and sex education. The communists were held responsible for allowing this terrible "slaughter of the innocents", with the complicity of women, who had fallen for this complete confidence trick of communism.
