The Impacts of Violent and Degrading Pornography on Society
Violent and degrading pornography in the mainstream culture desensitizes men to the suffering of women, leading them to view women as mere sexual objects. This type of pornography perpetuates toxic masculinity by encouraging rejection of feminine traits, contributing to the dehumanization of women. The culture normalized by the porn industry distorts the individual acts done in secret, having broader societal consequences. It is vital to shift away from gender roles and emphasize ethical standards that transcend masculinity and femininity. By critically analyzing and rejecting harmful messages, there is potential to create a culture that prioritizes empathy, courage, and protection for all individuals.
