New Study Finds Porn Does Not Make Men Sexist
“It could be that thinking porn is realistic promotes sexism, but it could also be that those who hold sexist attitudes are more likely to think porn is realistic, as it conforms to their worldviews,” said Dr Miller.”
Dr. Dan Miller, lecturer at the James Cook University, Australia, and his team surveyed more than 300 heterosexual men on their pornography habits and their attitude towards women.
The media frequently promotes pornography as being associated with sexist views, and the same idea is mentioned in many academic speeches. Moreover, The International Center on Sexual Exploitation claims on their website endsexualexploitation.org, without any clear evidences or scientific studies, that “Pornography fosters aggression by normalizing and depicting verbal and physical violence as enjoyable.”
James Cook University researchers have found that pornography use is not associated with sexist views among heterosexual men. “Research indicates that women in pornography are frequently depicted in degrading or objectifying ways. So, its reasonable to assume that porn users may internalize the underlying sexism of this behavior and then apply it in real life,” said Dr Miller.
He said that the study found that higher overall pornography consumption was not associated with holding more sexist attitudes towards women. “Not only was there no link between overall pornography use and sexism, use of violent and humiliating pornography specifically was also not associated with greater sexism,” said Dr Miller.
Notably, Dr. Miller mentions the fact that men, who thought pornography as realistic in it’s depiction of sex and relationships, tend to have sexists views. “We have to keep in mind that this is just a correlational finding. It could be that thinking porn is realistic promotes sexism, but it could also be that those who hold sexist attitudes are more likely to think porn is realistic, as it conforms to their worldviews,” said Dr Miller.
The findings of the study were pretty complex and reflected also other older studies on the link between pornography use and sexism.
Dr. Miller stated that the results of this survey are part of a growing body research tentatively suggesting that pornography use does not promote general sexism, at least for most men. The next steps of the study are to investigate if pornography promotes sexism among certain subgroups of men, for example, men predisposed to more misogynistic beliefs.
In the Scientific American, the journalist Melinda Moyer, mentions several studies that show moderate pornography consumption does not depict sexist behavior. The most common concern about pornography is that, indirectly, it can hurt women by encouraging sexism, raising sexual expectations and harming relationships. And some people might even worry that it can promote sexual violence against women. The data, however, does not support these ideas, as there is no evidence that pornography does anything negative, and as Professor Milton Diamond (Pacific Center for Sex and Society| University of Hawaii) says “It’s a moral issue, not a factual issue”.

Italy: Senate Passes Law Introducing Life Imprisonment for Femicide
In a historic move aimed at combating gender-based violence, the Italian Senate has unanimously passed a bill that formally enshrines femicide as a distinct criminal offense in the country’s Penal Code. With 161 votes in favor and none against, the legislation mandates life imprisonment for anyone found guilty of killing a woman out of gender-based hatred or with the intent to suppress her rights and freedoms.
According to Italy’s national press agency ANSA, cited by Agerpres, the law defines femicide as the act of murdering a woman “out of discrimination or hatred rooted in her gender, or with the goal of repressing her rights, freedoms, or identity.”
Beyond setting the maximum penalty, the bill also imposes tougher restrictions on access to prison benefits for femicide convicts and mandates new national programs focused on education and awareness to help prevent gender-based violence before it escalates.
The bill now moves to the Chamber of Deputies for final approval. Its introduction comes amid growing public outrage over the rise in femicide cases across Italy. In 2024 alone, official data from the Interior Ministry recorded 113 femicides, of which 99 occurred in family or intimate contexts. Tragically, 61 women were killed by current or former partners.
If adopted, Italy will join a small but growing number of countries that have codified femicide as a standalone crime—marking a pivotal moment in the nation’s efforts to protect women and address systemic violence rooted in misogyny.
