"Some, it seems, have their attitudes and behavior altered by it in ways that ultimately hurt women: they can become more likely to view women as inferior, more disposed to accept rape myths (for example, that women enjoy rape), more likely to view rape victims as deserving of their treatment, and more likely to say that they themselves would rape if they could get away with it. So I interpret the available evidence. See Edward Donnerstein, Daniel Linz, and Steven Penrod, [[The Question of Pornography : Research Findings and Policy Implications (New York: Free Press; London: Coller Macmillan, 1987)."
