“There is a fundamental concern that the content of such magazines normalizes the treatment of women as sexual objects. We are not killjoys or prudes who think that there should be no sexual information and media for young people. But are teenage boys and young men best prepared for fulfilling love and sex when they normalize views about women that are disturbingly close to those mirrored in the language of sexual offenders?” – Dr. Peter Hegarty

But rape culture doesn’t exist, right?

I am legit scared because I was sure every single one was from a rapist

There’s also been studies suggesting porn has the same effect, as well as increasing the violence of men in bed. 

And even if you think you’re not one of them, if you buy into lad mags and porn culture, you’re keeping the industry alive and still probably misogynistic.
