I would say that this has more to do with the fact that men who watch certain types of pornography tend to be certain types of men.

Yeah, that was some seriously shoddy research.

I just don't see any logical connection, and I've never read reputable, serious scientific study of this beyond crappy little samples that involved little more than asking the subjects their opinions. For something like this, you need to study it over decades and look at actual crime statistics, prevalence of certain types of porn/strip clubs, etc.

I have actually seen and read such research that does prove the opposite. That while the sex industry has grown enormously in the past few decades, crimes against women have gone down, and overall conditions for women (as long as you don't live in a Muslim country) continue to improve.

Getting some people, showing them porn, and then asking them "so chix are dumb whores, right?" is not scientific in the slightest.
