I'd be interested to see that kind of research that porn would actually cause misogyny, establishing a causal relationship rather than just a correlation.

As for that point, I can think of two circumstances, from experiences of friends and family, where a relationship ended terribly because of pornography addiction.
I should clarify. I am not condemning all pornography. I do think there exists a certain type of "good erotica" which does celebrate human sexuality, but it is clear that much of pornography objectifies humans, both male and female, as little more than animals. That's what I have a problem with as I do think it leads to the justification of biological practices which are supposedly outmoded by our current ethical institutions.
EDIT: I can't find electronic links to the articles in the case without purchasing the articles. I have access through my university account.
If you go to google scholar and type in the appropriate search words, you get a bunch of articles from academic journals.
