97. Suppose the premise of Hazen is correct. What should we do about it?
If there are men who degrade women with porn wouldn't they still degrade women without porn if it was taken away?

I don't think porn makes men what they are I think they already are the way they are and that's why porn is successful. Men who want to degrade women would buy porn that degrades women.

We need a more enlightened view of sex in this country I think. The prudes have made it so that we can't have an honest discussion about sex out in the open. If there were more positive depictions of sex on our society maybe there wouldn't be as many men who want to degrade women.

Sex is not dirty. It is a natural human function and deserves it's rightful respect in our society.
