Is What We Want What We Need, And Can We Get It In Writing? The Third-Wave Of Feminism Hits The Beach Of Modern Parentage Presumptions, Carol A. Beier, Larkin E. Walsh
University of Baltimore Law Forum
Modern statutes on parentage regarding artificial insemination and the cases that have interpreted them reflect the explosion of family gender roles by second-wave feminism. Although a natural father now is generally expected to share the rights and obligations of parentage with a natural mother, this is not so if he is a mere contributor of biological material. Are the modern presumptions underlying such statutes, what we used to want, what we have come to need? Or, is current law too much a reflection of the essentialism for which the second-wave is sometimes justly criticized?
Third-wave individualism and resistance to inflexible …

Welfare, Privacy, And Feminism, Michele E. Gilman
Welfare, Privacy, And Feminism, Michele E. Gilman
University of Baltimore Law Forum
Feminism has long been concerned with privacy. Second-wave feminists assailed the divide between the public and the private spheres that trapped women in the home, excluded them from the workforce, and subjected them to domestic abuse. Second-wave feminists also argued in favor of a sphere of privacy that would allow women to make reproductive choices without state interference. These were powerful critiques of existing power structures, but they tended to overlook the experiences of poor women. As a condition of receiving welfare benefits, poor women have been subjected to drug tests, and they continue to face unannounced home inspections by …

Copyright Law And Pornography: Reconsidering Incentives To Create And Distribute Pornography, Ann Bartow
Copyright Law And Pornography: Reconsidering Incentives To Create And Distribute Pornography, Ann Bartow
University of Baltimore Law Forum

This essay explains how pornography came to be eligible for copyright protections, discusses the social and legal effects of this change, and raises questions about the propriety of according pornography the full benefits of copyright law without taking into account the harms that pornography production can inflict on subordinated or coerced "performers."
