Starting in the late 1980s some feminist scholars also began to see porn as a tool that women could appropriate to liberate themselves from patriarchal norms of behavior and beauty. Porn sexuality, they argued, wasn't simply about subjugation. Instead, ''what pornography is trying to do is create, using real bodies, a fantasy of a kind of idealized and perfectly abundant pleasure,'' says Linda Williams, a film studies professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and a leading porn theorist. What others might see as basically a masturbatory aid was cast instead as a genre of utopian social criticism. As for the anti-porn crusaders, Williams adds: ''Really, who are they to tell us where our sexual imaginations should go?''

So based on Prof. Williams' critical theory, adult webmasters can also be called "disseminators of utopian social criticism"
