Men's Group

Assertion: Porn is related to rape! Porn fuels rape culture! Porn is making people rape, encouraging men to rape, etc!

Response: Okay, well, as porn has become increasingly available, the statistics of rape have actually gone down. How does that work?

Assertion: Those numbers are made up, by rape apologists.

Response: The USDOJ and FBI are rape apologists?

Assertion: Fine but the pornification of society HAS TO be making rape more acceptable.

Response: If that were the case, then the numbers would be going up, wouldn't they? Certainly not going DOWN.

Assertion: How can you say that porn keeps men from raping? Oh, men will rape if they don't get their porn, is that your argument??



See what happens there? By disproving with obvious evidence the assertion that "porn causes rape", somehow now one is saying that it is only porn which keeps people from raping.

Personally, I don't think porn and rape have anything to do with each other. But if porn was making rape "worse" or "more acceptable" or encouraging "rape culture", the oft-decried pornification of society ought to result in a statistical increase in rape, NOT the decrease which all statistical entities report and acknowledge.
