A further thought is haunting me...
Isn't pornography per se a "freak show"? Almost without exception, women in porn are systematically displayed as objects, judged on their physical features and used for male sexual gratification. (Unless someone has started producing porn by and for women that differs significantly.)
So what exactly is the difference between a disabled and a non-disabled woman displaying herself as an object, if the woman is the "freak" anyway, whether she is disabled or not?
