Reasons for opposition to pornography include religious objections, feminist concerns, moral reasons as well as alleged harmful effects, such as pornography addiction and erectile dysfunction.

Feminist views on transgender topics vary widely.

Networked feminism is a phenomenon that can be described as the online mobilization and coordination of feminists in response to sexist, misogynistic, racist, and other discriminatory acts against minority groups. This phenomenon covers all possible definitions of what feminist movements may entail, as there have been multiple waves of feminist movements and there is no central authority to control what the term "feminism" claims to be. While one may hold a different opinion from another on the definition of "feminism", all those who believe in these movements and ideologies share the same goal of dismantling the current patriarchal social structure, where men hold primary power and higher social privileges above all others.

<i>Dead Blondes and Bad Mothers</i> 2019 non-fiction book

Dead Blondes and Bad Mothers: Monstrosity, Patriarchy and the Fear of Female Power is a 2019 book by Jude Ellison Doyle. It explores the presentation of female bodies in literature, film and other media, particularly horror fiction and true crime, and proposes that these are reflective of patriarchal views: that a woman's body is a defect from a male body; that women should be controlled, and that their puberty or sexual autonomy are to be feared; and that men's criminality can be attributed to poor maternal influence. Case studies include The Exorcist's portrayal of female puberty, the murderer Ed Gein who inspired Psycho and the Frankenstein author Mary Shelley's real-life experiences relating to childbirth. The conclusion discusses witchcraft.
