Societies that ban Porn treat women really well

[whathehell]

89. Yes, I think we're all aware of that.

When it comes to social science, it's difficult to "prove" anything, and you probably know

that...That being as it may, there IS evidence that repeated exposure to "dehumanizing pornography"

results in diminished sensitivity to women in men and to two times the level in desire to rape,

among other things.

This is one link, but it does links to a number of other studies, including those

which allegedly do NOT indicate a negative correlation of porn to abuse of

and insensitivity to women.

In a broader sense, however, I'd have to ask if we really need to "prove" a link?

To men terrified of losing their "rights" to see women brutalized and humiliated, I'm sure we do, but
beyond that, I'm not so sure. After all, did we need "proof" that stereotypical "grinning and shuffling" images of African-Americans contributed to their social denigration?...No. Did we need "proof" that the "Frito Bandito" was injurious to the
image of Mexican-Americans?...No. Did we then need proof that the lisping, limp wristed portrayal of gay men was harmful? --again, No.

Those spoke for themselves, just as degrading images of women speak for themselves. If women, as a group, possessed the power, money and social status of men, those things wouldn't exist...At least not for "entertainment".
One thing IS worth noting in comparing the treatment of those minorities with that of women, though, and that is that all of the OTHER oppressed groups include men, although, that, I'm sure is "just a coincidence", lol

The obvious reluctance of men to empathize with the other half of humanity to the point of giving up this "last badge"
of superiority is, I believe, what is standing in the way...That, and the profit motive of the manufacturers, of course.

You "take issue" with the notion that women are second class citizens?....Interesting, if not surprising...Then again, you are NOT a woman, are you? Since that's the case, you'll have to forgive me if I don't take your opinion too seriously....It strikes me about
as valid as the opinions of white people in America who believe "racism doesn't exist anymore".
