In perusing through the internet, in search for an article, I stummbled upon an interesting website. Accessing the site, http://internet-filter-review.toptenreviews.com/internet-pornography-statistics.html, it made me realize that women, startling are accesing pornography at a rapid rate, not as fast as men, but pretty close.
To start off, women contribute for one third of all visitors to adult website. Over nine million women enter porn sites each month. Women apparently, are not keeping their porn activities to themselves in the quiet of their own home. Alarmingly, women have admitted to downloading pornographic material at work.
Apparently, women are very secretive about their porn obsessions. The social norms of society states pornography is obscene and should not be viewed. Males often have a free pass, just because they are males. If women exhibit any sense of sexuality, they are often typecasted by the stereotypes brought down by this society we live in. That is why seventy percent of all women keep their porn activities secret. Seventeen percent of all women struggle with porn addiction this website states.
The stats that were presented to me was not startling in the least bit. Women should be able to excude their sexuality just like the men. Isn’t that what this country was based on, the ability of free expression. Women should not be looked down upon just if they are into porn, its their right to do so.
