Modern feminism has a lot of pathologies, but I don't think this lady does a good job of identifying them. For example, she posits that as men become more habituated to porn, they seek out more and more depraved/violent porn. Yet, studies suggest that most people don't like aggression/violence in porn, and of the minority who do, more women than men seek it out. And, in any case, the vastly increased access to porn has been correlated with a decrease in sexual assault rates. And yes, some people probably watch too much porn. But what pleasure--food, drugs, TV, etc--doesn't have some enthusiasts who consume their vices to an unhealthy degree? And it's true that some men post harsh reviews on escort review sites. But what business doesn't deal with harsh/unfair reviews? Leaving a harsh review on a review site doesn't make you a psychopath, any more than posting a harsh review of a plumber on Yelp.
