 However, the rights-based feminist arguments against pornography do not rest entirely on the claim that consumption of pornography is a significant cause of violent sexual crime. The claim that pornography contributes to women’s inequality, and the claim that it violates women’s right to freedom of speech, can rest on more moderate empirical claims about which there is likely to be more agreement: for example, that pornography helps to form and reinforce the view that women are sex objects, which manifests itself in how women are perceived and treated in society and so perpetuates women’s inequality. Among other things, it may increase the likelihood of sexual harassment and other forms of discrimination against women, undermine women’s credibility in certain contexts, encourage a general expectation that women who say “no” in sexual contexts often do not intend to refuse, and so on.
