Is porn immoral? That doesn’t matter: It’s a public health crisis.

[Warren DeMontague]

10. Gail Dines is hardly what you would call an objective, disinterested party in this argument.

She's built her career on the "dangers" of smut just as surely as professional drug warriors have a vested interest in reefer madness narratives.

She trots out the same, widely debunked, widely discredited studies and stats- like the one from years ago alleging that something like "95% of porn contains acts of violence or aggression".. Wow, gee, that sounds awful, until you actually ask what they define as "acts of violence and aggression" and you get "name calling, spanking, the insertion of body parts into the mouth of another"


...wait, whut?

So, yes, basically if you are defining fellatio itself as an "act of violence or aggression" it becomes hardly a shocker to find that 95% of porn meets your arbitrary (and silly) criteria.

The simple, basic fact which remains unchanged here is, for decades we have been warned by the Ed Meeses amd Andrea Dworkins about the awful, horrible effects all this rampant smuttitude would have on our society. they haven't materialized.

What has happened to society? Well, for starts, it is far more tolerant of things like LGBT equality, far less uptight on matters of personal morality, not to mention less violent. Correlation is not, of course, causation however it is clear as day that "the nightmare of porn" hasn't damaged a whole lot of anything in our society except the narrative of would-be authoritarians.
