Pornography and Silence: Culture's Revenge Against Nature (1981) is a book by Susan Griffin.
In this work Griffin articulated her anti-pornography feminism and makes the case that although the pursuit of "political freedom", especially freedom of speech, could lead to a position against the censorship of pornography, in the case of pornography the freedom to create pornography leads to a compromise of "human liberation" when this term includes liberation for all of humankind including the emancipation of women. She argues against the collapse of pornography and eros, arguing that they are separate and opposing ideas.
