Survey Says: Men Who Watch Porn Are More Likely to Become Feminists

Nothing is better than a survey that says watching porn could make you more sensitive to women's issues, which is the opposite of what we think it would do.

According to Taylor & Francis Online, researchers at the University of Western Ontario in Canada say guys who watch porn are more likely to hold feminist views than guys who don't.

They looked at more than 30 years of survey data and guys who admitted they had watched porn at least once in the past year were more likely to have positive views when it came to women in the workplace, and women holding positions of power.

Obviously that doesn't mean all guys who watch porn are out there protesting the wage gap though.

Other studies have shown that watching porn can have negative effects for some men.  For example, guys who show low levels of empathy to begin with can develop more sexist attitudes from watching porn.

But according to the authors of the study, the results, "fail to support the view that pornography is an efficient deliverer of 'women-hating ideology."

In other words, watching porn doesn't make most men sexist.
