Disability Pornography

The Fetishization of Women's Vulnerabilities

R. AMY ELMAN

Kalamazoo College

This work provides a critical exploration of various media that both sexualize and ridicule women and girls whose health and relative immobility make them especially vulnerable to sexual abuse. More specifically, pornography made of disabled women and girls is the prominent focus. The article considers how, like all pornography, but in its own way, this genre contributes to the second-class safety and status of all women, and women with disabilities in particular.
