chulaspice: chimichangalover7: chulaspice: me: *talking about how straight men cant view women outside a sexual context*

random straight guy: stop generalizing us

random straight guy: *has a porn blog* First off, what’s inherently wrong with porn? And what’s wrong with a straight guy having a porn blog?

Second off, straight dudes can and DO view women outside of a sexual context. If you wanna base your view of straight men off the stereotypical frat dude, be my guest. You’re just gonna be incredibly misled. Caleb, ur wearing a hooters shirt in ur display picture Despite his poor taste in clothing, his point is still valid. How does having a porn blog directly correlate to how men view women? You can watch porn and still respect women. Your supposed Venn Diagram is not a circle.

He has no point, it’s simply ignorance, and porn consumption is incompatible with respecting women : porn is an abusive industry, it involves women being abused for the sexual gratification for men, exposure to porn increases rape myth acceptance and increases behavioral intent to rape, porn exposure predicts diminished support for women’s rights, long term effects of pornography consumption do not lead to an increase in enjoyment from the commonly consumed material, but a desensitization to it. Porn consumers turn to more violent pornography or less common forms of pornography: hence the growth of child pornography. Porn watchers’ view of sexuality and of their partner’s body is distorted, they become sexually aggressive and callous towards women, don’t want female children, have less empathy for victims of sexual violence and are more likely to commit rape. There’s a positive association between pornography consumption and acceptance of violence against women whether the porn is violent or non-violent.

Most media that objectifies women, for example men’s lifestyle magazines, reality TV programs, and pornography predict more objectified cognitions about women, which, in turn, predicted stronger attitudes supportive of violence against women.
