Many Americans wonder how a person can come to a point where they rape another human being. One of the key issues lies in the objectification of women. It is absolutely noted that boys and men are raped (a topic for another post). When females are seen as less than males or as non persons (this may take the form of I don't know you so I can see you as someone's wife, daughter, sister, etc.), it becomes possible to commit atrocities toward them. Pornography is the embodiment (pun intended) of female objectification and degradation. Sexual sin thrives on secrecy and unrestrained natural urges. It is not only wrong in and of itself, but is like a gateway drug into more and more debauchery.
Because they are visual beings, males are drawn to pictures of female bodies like a moth to a flame. The male "group think" in our society is that "all men do it," as if to say viewing pornography is acceptable or a right of passage. Pornography is emotional, physical and spiritual death. It perpetuates lies about who females were created to be. It keeps men from bonding with and performing for their wives sexually. It is a nasty secret that enslaves evangelists.
Because our culture is so sexually obsessed, music and media messages lure boys and men into this deadly trap. The commercials such as Hardees have desensitized a nation of people into accepting the sexual degradation of females and bound males to chains they don't know how to break free of if they desire to.
