absolutely not 😤

i’m not disagreeing with you at all. however, the post already implied that porn negatively affects women as well. porn affects men and women in different ways- that post was specifically about how porn exposure at a young age affects how men approach sexual encounters later on. specifically, mainstream porn normalizes an imbalance of power between men and women during sex, where men are dominant and women are dehumanized. studies about the effects of porn on men and women show that men who watch porn tend to have a lower opinion of women, while women who watch porn internalize harmful ideas about women’s role in sex, as you said. your response to the (very short) post about how men who watch porn are conditioned to dehumanize women implied that porn also causes women to dehumanize men when this is generally untrue. my main point: i don’t think women are immune to the harmful ideas about sex that are present in porn, but women are more negatively impacted by porn than men in more tangible ways. 

wow you are so right

we don’t talk about that
