"Women, for centuries not having access to pornography and now unable to bear looking at the muck on the supermarket shelves, are astonished. Women do not believe that men believe what pornography says about women. But they do. From the worst to the best of them, they do"
- Andrea Dworkin

Nevertheless, Dworkin asserts that guys do indeed think these messages, despite their social status. This quote sheds light on the destructive effects of porn on women and the social approval of its damaging portrayal of women.
