One of the main implicationsof MacKinnon's approach to male domination is the denial that women can exist assubjects and can exercise genuine agency. Besides having counterintuitive epistemologicaland ontological implications, this view is politically dangerous, because it reinforces the culturalstructures of domination, it deprives women of the performative and authorial power toreverse established social meanings and practices, and it silences women's voices and claimsthat could help them to cope with the non-ideal circumstances of their lives. It is argued herethat these very unwelcome political consequences should count in assessing MacKinnon'stheory and that much of its apparent appeal rests on the undue assumption that recognizingwomen's agency would legitimize the present unjust political and social order.
