I Wrote A 20-something Page Literature Review And Hypothetical Research Proposal On The Effects Of Pornography

I wrote a 20-something page literature review and hypothetical research proposal on the effects of pornography related to healthy relationship views in young adults for my undergrad. Porn has definitely been proven harmful in the academic world.

I have access to several data bases from my university and it’s so funny every time you look up pornography theres not a single article about how it’s good. It’s 2020 we’ve been studying porn for decades, there’s thousands of studies on it, if you believe porn is scientifically beneficial youre dumber than a flat earther.

That would be an interesting concept, especially since a lot of college age kids engage in sexual activity with each other. Maybe if they made some kind of law that said college age kids can only consent to sex with people X years older than them with a new "legal adult" age of like... 22ish. I don't know exactly what the details would be. It's kind of weird that here in America we have a mentality like:

You want easy access to alcohol? Let's wait until your brain is more fully matured at the age of 21 in the hope that you will make smarter health decisions.

And as of 2019, you want easy access to cigarettes, tobacco products, and vaping products? Let's wait until your brain is more fully matured at the age of 21 in the hope that you will make smarter health decisions.

You want to sleep with any adult regardless of the age gap or potential for physical and emotional manipulation from seasoned predators as well as the risk for physical health side effects like STDs and pregnancy? Well, you're 18, I'm sure you know what you're doing.

i remember feeling so sad when i turned 18 because i felt like i wasn't protected from men anymore. like, if a crusty older guy hit on me as a teenager, i knew he was a disgusting creep preying on teenage girls and i knew i could tell someone about that. being hit on by the same guy as an 18+ would just be..legal and even normal. i felt like i became free real estate when i became legally an adult. i really wish they'd increase the age of consent.

Me: has a test on Wednesday to study for, an essay to write, 2 discussion posts due, a community health project, and a group project on cancer that I need to start

Also me: well this seems like an optimal time to re-watch a few seasons of teen wolf.

Seriously. SERIOUSLY?

someone just have mercy on me and take me out i can’t do this anymore

Well, Loft is my favorite store but I'm officially boycotting for at least the rest of pride month. Way to hop on the bandwagon with all the other gender affirmers in capitalist America.

“I know the power a young girl carries in her heart” l a Pakistani activist for girls' education and the youngest Nobel Prize laureate, Malala began campaigning for girls’ rights in Pakistan at the age of 11. Almost 13 years later, a woman's right to education is still at the forefront of her cause, expanding beyond her home country to nations all over the world.

The 23 year-old Oxford graduate has become a beacon of hope, committed to ensuring girls across the world get the education they deserve. And now she stands at a crossroad in her own life. / all © British Vogue
