12. The hatred is of women

Rape porn represents an intense hatred of women that some men have. You will note that many good men, probably most men, won't go near that stuff. You'll note that most of the defenders of rape porn also oppose many aspects of women's rights: equity in health insurance, Equal Opportunity Employment laws. Some vociferously resent discussion of violence against women in society and even object to PSA's on rape, insisting rape-prevention ads that mention men are "misandrist" for suggesting that a man might rape, or insisting rape awareness campaigns amount to "haranguing men." But if we suggest that rape porn is dangerous to women, we are trying to "punish men" (as though all men need to see women raped to be men ). The idea of thinking about the fate of the women who make that porn or the women who are then raped as a result of eroticizing violence against women is something they steadfastly refuse to consider.
Rape it seems, should enter the public sphere only in terms of its arousal for men, while they insist on silencing discussion of its real world impacts.
