Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Modeling sexual violence in movies and television has been found to desensitize viewers to violence against women, which can make them more accepting of it. This can particularly have an impact on young men who may be more impressionable and at risk of perpetrating violence themselves. While women may become more aware of the seriousness of rape and sexual violence, they are not likely to become more aggressive toward other women as a result.
