In light of recent events I am posting this here
Smart girls are the fucking best
But like
They did such a good job
The poses
Massive props to the camera person too

The question: what are the consequences of continued exposure to pornography on beliefs about sexuality in general and on attitudes towards women?
The experiment:
Part One:
- 80 male and 80 female participants are divided into four subgroups
- Massive Exposure Group: saw 36 short, non-violent porn films (about 5 hours of film) over six weeks.
- Intermediate Exposure Group: saw 18 short, non-violent porn films and 18 regular films over six weeks.
- No Exposure Group: saw 36 regular films.
- Control Group: saw no films, not brought in till the second phase.
Part Two:
- Participants read about a rape case and were asked to recommend a the length of the prison sentence for the rapist.
- They were also asked to indicate their support for the women’s rights movement on a 0 to 100 scale.
- Finally, they were asked to estimate the popularity of various sexual acts among the general population.
Results:
- In recommending a prison term for a rapist, folks in the Massive Exposure Group chose, on average, prison terms that were half as long as terms recommended by the people in the No Exposure Group. (A five-year sentence versus a ten-year sentence)
- When asked to rate their support for women’s rights, men and women in the Massive Exposure Group indicated about half as much support as participants in the No Exposure Group. (38% versus 76%)
- Finally, men and women in the Massive Exposure Group rated anal sex, group sex, and bestiality at least twice as common as did the No Exposure Group. (For example, the Massive Exposure Group estimated that 30% of Americans had group sex, while the No Exposure Group estimated only 11% did. The Massive Exposure Group also estimated that 12% of Americans were having sex with animals.)
Conclusion: Zillmann and Bryant conclude that massive exposure to pornography made rape appear a more trivial offense, which seemed also to parallel a drop in support for women’s rights. Also, intensive porn-viewing led to beliefs that unusual sexual acts are far more common than they really are.
5 hours of non-violent porn exposure in 6 weeks was considered the ‘massive exposure’ group. How many hours of porn do men watch on average now? How far does it degrade their empathy and ability to see rape as a violent crime rather than a sex act? How does this affect how they treat the women in their lives? Will we ever know the true, full extent of porn’s effect on our world?
I think we are definitely seeing the lack of empathy piece.
god gave me all of these obstacles nd flaws and mental problems because without them i would be a mary sue.
reblog + tag with your ONE favorite movie of all time, your go to, ultimate favorite movie and I’ll be compiling them into this list on letterboxd (x)
it can literally be any movie, no judgements, and it doesn’t have to be from the genre you picked it can be from any genre
it is not normal for grown men to find teenage girls sexually attractive. in fact, the older you get, the less attractive teenagers should become. i cannot believe people are arguing about this
humans are not “wired” to find younger people attractive. you are just poisoned by the normalization of pedophilia and capitalist ideals of beauty. your tastes are supposed to age with you.
