The point she makes in this chapter elaborates on a point already in my essay made by Wolf - how hardcore porn is now competition for the ad market, and therefore adverts need to be more shocking than porn in order to entice viewers (??? - madness) and keep the customers interested.
She also makes some good points about strip clubs and how they let both genders down, which I think might be going off in too much of a tangent to the focus of my essay, but interesting nonetheless.
Definitely a great read.
Although Moran is not an academic scholar, she is still a woman who is able identify sexism and misogyny in the Western world, and a journalist who basically gets pain to notice and analyse and question things. - may put a similar analysis in my essay (but worded better!).
