Does 'rape culture' accurately describe (many) societies?

[Poem]

I withdraw the charge. Lithrael nor anyone else should feel obligated to address it, or any other claim I've made, in place of addressing your own claims and arguments.

'...or any other claim I've made...'

That's pretty comprehensive.

Exposure to continuous or fluid theories of sexual orientation leads some heterosexuals to embrace less‑exclusive heterosexual orientations (from the peer-reviewed journal, Nature, 2021).

Even today most homosexuals are brought up in a world completely saturated by heteosexual images, movies, books, cartoons, songs, porn etc. if Poem's claim was correct there would never have been any homosexuals or bisexuals in the past or today.

Straw man.

What is your stance on sexuality being a spectrum?

If the culture and the porn promotes fluidity and spectrum (it does), then what are the consequences?

Cornell Vows That Rapists Will Be Forced To Write Much Longer Essays In The Future

ITHACA, NY—Acknowledging serious missteps in their handling of a 2024 campus sexual assault case, administrators at Cornell University vowed Tuesday that, going forward, rapists would be forced to write much longer essays as punishment for their behavior. “Upon reviewing the disciplinary action...

A toxic mix of drugs, alcohol and a culture of anything-goes porn (and the downplaying of the value of sex per se because of that culture) - a perfect storm.

Yeah - apologies, I missed that.

Straw man.

No it's not. Try educating yourself about what the term means.

What is your stance on sexuality being a spectrum?

An established fact.

[Poem]

The modern notion of sexuality as a spectrum emphasises fluidity (hello Alfred Kinsey). It is a turning away from any recognition of a rigid binary - an emphasis of otherness and latent possibilities. That falls perfectly within the pornosphere paradigm. If you want to explore 'otherness', then it is all there for you.

And that is exactly what is being served up to our children.

That biology emphatically determines a high degree of heterosexuality (for existential reasons) - that fact seems to have been totally overlooked.

Not my industry, mate. I've never made porn in my life.

You watch porn and are propagating the industry. It is your industry. You on Pornhub:

Why? They do their best to stay within the law. NCC and CSAM is banned from their site, and short of the intrusive measures now in place in the UK and soon to be implemented in Australia, they do what they can to ensure that underage users don't access it. No, I don't think they're "morally bankrupt" and I don't think they should face crippling financial liabilities. They provide a service, legally and with all the protections that they are capable of applying.

Yes, it is. I cannot adequately emphasize how greatly I oppose your practice of using my posts to try to make your arguments.

The thesis is that prolonged exposure to pornography tends to derange human sexuality.

Though that particular paper does not discuss porn.

Your view of sexuality is a very narrow one, and it is not borne out by what we know about human sexuality throughout history. And you seem to disregard that reproduction isn't only possible in strict heterosexual relationships.

Since you seem bent on kink shaming, I suggest that you actually learn something about human sexuality, outside of your own very narrow views. Perhaps you could begin by looking at our closest relatives, bonobos?

And before you start with your usual nonsense; I won't discuss what anyone else has said earlier in the thread. I also won't answer any other questions, unless you make your own positions clear (no #). I've said this before, but it bears repeating; you are not Socrates, nor Plato, and your questions lead nowhere.
