Pornography
Pornography impedes love, intimacy, respect, and connection. Yet many continue to defend it.
We know porn consumption harms children. But is it fine, as a New Zealand PSA implies, if it is watched only by adults who understand the acts they see on film are “not real”?
New York Fashion week saw Namilia designers collaborate with Pornhub to sell young women the lie that sexual objectification will liberate them.
Not only does pornography impact women in the sex trade, but it harms society at large. And we are seeing the results on a widespread basis.
Meghan Murphy speaks with Rebecca Whisnant about the harms of porn and why those of us who challenge it are dismissed so readily.
The porn industry drives prostitution, which means critics of pornography cannot challenge one without challenging the other.

Hef should not be remembered as a freedom fighter, but a con artist of epic proportions.
