The flip side is that when a man can satisfy himself, then abusive & manipulative women lose the power to control him with sex. It's entirely possible to maintain a realistic view of women even if porn is consumed, in the same way that it's possible to watch action movies & not let them distort your understanding of physics, or that you can play violent video games without ever having any desire to actually do anything violent. While there is a lot of unhealthy thinking in the MGTOW movement, I'm not sure it isn't a fairly natural reaction to modern feminism & the way modern culture uses masculinity as a punching bag & celebrates very weak & unimpressive people. Marriage requires a man & a woman, the number of extremely unfeminine women who don't want kids is dramatically higher too.

Good points. I think it is far easier to make the argument that porn has been bad for women because they have less the power to control men via their lust.

And maybe that is why so many women now seek power and control ('manipulative') and seem so unfeminine, rather than being what we think of as the traditional wife, because they lost the power and control (via a man's lust) that they naturally had since forever, but they are still seeking it because evolution drives them to.

Maybe that's a "win" for men, that we can't be so easily manipulated. But I think it's a further step towards an unnatural and unfulfilling life.

I think birth control seriously screws up natural attraction mechanisms & makes females hyper irrational. Sugar & soy & veg oils compound all of this & have a similar effect on men. But I think women have been the primary target of a conscious multi-decade campaign to get them drugged & propagandized into believing they should work & pay taxes & generally reject a more feminine way of life. Men in a world with good women are harder to manipulate, but once you destroy the women in a society then you can easily destroy the men.
