'Bad Attitude/s on Trial is a thoughtful and complex study of both genuinely complicated social issues and tangled legal reasoning. It's definitely worth reading.' -- Stan Persky The Vancouver Sun 'Although many readers many not agree with the opinions expressed about sexuality and depiction in Bad Attitude/s, they should take careful note of how genuine progressive concerns have been hijacked by the same old authoritarian social forces we thought were history.' -- Robyn Gillam eye Weekly 'The most daring aspect of Bad Attitude/s on Trial is the authors' attempt to sketch out a positive theory of sexuality to counter the essential negative view enshrined in the common law traditions shared by Canada and the United States.' -- Nathan M. Greenfield The Boston Book Review 'Bad Attitude/s presents a detailed refutation of anti-pornography feminists, accuses them of being enveloped by conservative social trends, and offers arguments for a dissenting feminist positions.' -- Bart Testa The Globe and Mail 'The authors tackle their subjects with a sensitivity to the arguments of their ideological foes, but effectively demonstrate that the protection of women from harm does not begin with the suppression of imagery.' -- Karen Hill Quill and Quire 'A thorough and provocative book.' -- Bart Testa, The Globe and Mail
