So in class today we talked about violence against women, especially when it comes to sex and why our society has normalized it so much and I figured I try and get NT's opinion on it.
IMO porn is the single biggest factor on why we as a society normalize rape and other forms of sexual violence against women. I forgot the number my professor said, but essentially almost every man watches some form of porn and often times porn depicts women as submissive, and enjoying being degraded and often times porn flirts with flat out physical abuse. At the same time, porn also depicts women as "enjoying" that, so in turn men internalize this and perform this on women in real life. Those in power watch porn often to so they have very little to no apathy for women when they cry rape.
You factor in the fact that sex in itself is a power emotion, so when you associate something with sex it'll more likely than not stick with you far easier so subconsciously you watch porn and you start becoming what you watch.
Moving forward, with the advent of technology getting into the hands of kids younger and younger, young boys (and girls) first introduction to porn could be a ******** or ghetto gaggers scene or something which isn't ideal, and it perpetuates the normalizing of physical violence towards women at a dangerously young age. This isn't even accounting for all of the other issues revolving porn, (Erectile dysfunction is becoming more and more common with young people, the diving into deeper and more weird forms of porn to get that dopamine fix, the brain not being even evolved enough to handle excessive amounts of porn viewing, etc. etc.) which is why I'm saying porn does more harm than good.
Y'all boys agree or nah?
