    I can think of a few things that do more to contribute to rape and degrading views of women than porn, which has existed as long as human civilization has:

    • The actual rape that happens in almost every dynamic where authority is involved: manager/employee, student/teacher, coach/athlete, agent/client, in police custody, etc.
    • The instances of actual rape, at best, not being investigated. At worst, the woman becomes subject to harassment, bullying, and smear campaigns
    • The flood of right-wing manosphere propaganda in the YouTube algorithm demonizing feminism
    • Gamergate
    • Churches pushing purity culture
    • Churches forcing women into quiet subservience that keeps them from speaking out against leaders and husbands
    • Politicians passing anti-“DEI” legislation rolling back decades of progress in women’s rights
    • Politicians passing legislation in some states to lower the age girls can get married
    • The techno-fascist emphasis on birth rate
    • That school board official sexually harassing an underage girl on camera and nobody in power giving a shit
    • “Grab them by the pussy. When you’re a star, they let you do whatever you want.”
    • Jeffrey Epstein
