"Pornography As a Cause of Rape" Book excerpt from: "Against Pornography: The Evidence of Harm" Read at DianaRussell.com 'Could It Be That Pornography Prevents Rape?' http://obscenitycrimes.org/noprevent.cfm -- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS/COMMENTS: 1. WHY ARE YOU AGAINST PORN? -- -- Because pornography degrades women, sex, & all humanity, including boys & men. Additionally pornography frequently glorifies & promotes sadism, masochism, rape, incest, pedophilia, misogyny, (woman hating), and violence against women & girls. It also creates demand for prostitution & international sex trafficking. Furthermore, it is a highly unregulated & abusive industry that frequently exploits vulnerable survivors of childhood sexual abuse. 2. ARE YOU IN FAVOR OF CENSORSHIP OR BANNING OF PORNOGRAPHY? -- -- No. This channel is in favor of education of consumers of pornography & participants, and supports fair & reasonable regulation. Please read the article "The Adult Film Industry: Time to Regulate?" (First link at top left of this channel.) All of the regulations proposed in that article are supported. 3. BUT IF SOMEONE CHOOSES TO DO PORN, IT'S THEIR CHOICE & THEREFORE IT'S FINE & IT'S NOBODY'S BUSINESS. -- -- Just because someone makes a choice that doesn't mean it's a healthy or good choice for them or for society in general. People frequently choose to use dangerous drugs or to inflict violence on others. That doesn't mean those choices are positive or ethical ones. If one cares about humanity it is important to speak up in order to encourage people to make healthier choices that will improve their lives & the overall condition of our society. 4. WHY DO YOU HAVE THOSE ANNOTATIONS ON YOUR VIDEOS? CAN'T WE JUST WATCH THE VIDEOS WITHOUT THEM? -- -- Posting the videos without the annotations on them would be a copyright violation & would result in their removal. (That is what happened to someone else who posted them previously in their original form.) Permission was granted by the copyright owners to keep this channel's videos on YouTube in their Fair Use-like form WITH the pauses & the annotations that provide commentary, criticism, & response. So they must remain. 5. YOUR VIDEOS ARE BIASED. YOU SHOULD PRESENT BOTH SIDES OF THE ARGUMENT TO BE FAIR. -- -- Being biased against an exploitative & sexist industry is something to be proud of, and there is no need to present the other side. If a person was fighting against racism, would you accuse them of being "biased", and insist that they present the views of racists as well so that they aren't being so "one-sided"? Of course not. However, it's easy to find out the views of people who are in favor of the sex industry, as the Internet is saturated with porn & web sites that vigorously promote, defend, & support the all aspects of the multibillion-dollar global sex industry. 6. WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE PORNOGRAPHY, PROSTITUTION, OR THE CHOICES OF PEOPLE WHO USE THEM, PARTICIPATE IN THEM, OR SUPPORT THEM? -- -- We all have a responsibility as members of society to either be part of the problem or part of the solution, and to make educated & fair judgments about what is right or wrong, and then to act on those judgments. Judgments about what is right or wrong, or good or harmful for society, make up our laws & judicial system. Without such judgments & the enforcement of them, no one would have any secure rights or freedoms, & society would be in a state of chaos. 7. IF YOU DON'T LIKE PORNOGRAPHY, JUST DON'T WATCH IT. -- -- That would be irresponsible. Silence in the face of extreme sexism, abuse & dehumanization is complicity, and that's not an option for anyone with a conscience. Would you suggest the same in the face of other harms? Would you tell someone if they don't like racism or violence to just look the other way? 8. YOU SHOULDN'T BE FORCING YOUR OPINIONS ON OTHERS. THAT'S FASCISM! -- -- Nobody is being "forced" by this channel to read or watch anything, & it's not "fascist" to provide educational information so that individuals can make informed choices about their consumption of pornography or their participation in the sex industry. 9. WHY ARE YOU AGAINST SEX? YOU MUST BE A PRUDE OR SEXUALLY REPRESSED BECAUSE OF RELIGION. -- -- This channel is not faith-based, & it is NOT against sex, which is something that is natural & healthy. What IS being fought against is an abusive & highly unregulated multibillion-dollar industry that profits off of the exploitation & dehumanization of everyone involved, but most particularly young women. - Note: If your question is not answered above, please review the rest of this channel page & the PLAYLISTS page.
