"There’s no longer any doubt that the pornification of America has led to a huge increase in crime against women and children, crime committed by those who consume porn that teaches that women want to be raped and degraded. "
Ummmm--can you point to any statistics that back this up???
Violent crime, including rape, has decreased over the prior 20 years. Teen pregnancy rates are down over the past 20 years.
Statistics actually refute your main argument, that porn has led to increased violence against women. One could very persuasively argue that porn (or some other factor) has lessened crime against women. Not that I think porn is great or whatever---but one must look at reality, and the reality of present day America is that crime has been declining.
The most evil and misogynistic societies on earth (those ruled in accordance with the dictates of the Religion of Peace[tm]) are also the ones guided by Colson's notion that allowing men to view female bodies will cause them to misbehave.

| Statistics actually refute your main argument, that porn has led to increased violence against women. While I agree 100% with your statistics and I certainly believe them to be correct, you cannot make the conclusion that porn does not increase instances of rape. Rape may have decreased by 40% instead of 20% if porn did not exist. One simply cannot come to the conclusion that either one is responsible for the other. |
