Resolved Question: Were anti-porn feminists right? Study shows porn hurts young women and girls?

Psychologists call for replacing sexualized images of girls in the media and advertising with positive ones. What did the APA Task Force study? They studied published research on the content and effects of television, music videos, music lyrics, magazines, movies, video games and the Internet.
