Sexual Fascism

0/5 ( ratings)

When ‘Sexual Fascism’ was first published it was censored from review by sections of the media. No pun intended – but it’s not hard to see why! The book examined the treatment of sexuality in the Scottish media. The acerbic monthly blog appeared on its own website between 1995 and 2005 and would receive up to 3,000 hits a day on the website. Monitoring tabloid campaigns like ‘SmutWatch’ and ‘Name and Shame’, it covered an extraordinary period from the massacre of a classroom of children in Dunblane to the notorious ‘Keep the Clause’ campaign driven by militant religionists, the Catholic Church, a former Sun editor and a wealthy bus driver. The book covers the extraordinary moral panic behind stories like the police officer who arrested a man with a snake down his trousers; a child’s doll with a penis; a woman ordered to remove a display of male dolls too close together in her window and a spray that detected traces of sex! The book’s darker side portrays the extraordinary privileges religion enjoys in the Scottish media and how it uses it to its own advantage.
