Notre Dame Students Request a Campus Porn Filter | National Review
By Marlo Safi   November 2, 2018

The men leading the effort stress the destructive nature of pornography.

In recent years, the deleterious effects of the sexual rot that has festered on college campuses has prompted administrators to attempt to “solve” them, often out of interest for female students who are disproportionately victimized. Many universities initiate zero-tolerance policies for harassment or demeaning behavior, which is meant to inculcate an atmosphere of respect. Condoms are often provided in unlimited quantities, for free, in freshman co-ed dorms, so that all women can fulfill the prophecy of the hookup culture, on par with their male peers. Kangaroo courts subject women who’ve faced the trauma of rape to adjudication through the university, rather than the American judicial system — where rape is tried as the crime it is by judges, rather than by student disciplinary panels.

These “solutions” have acted more to muffle the issues that women face on campus and have often also been counterproductive, even worsening them: For example, one study found that 78 percent of undergraduate women who’d had uncommitted sex reported feeling regret following it. Another study reported that both men and women who had casual sex had lower self-esteem. The culture of promiscuity has left women feeling empty and used — the word “objectified” can be appropriately applied — even when participation is consensual. Women aren’t only enabled to participate in this lifestyle that is making them depressed — they’re encouraged, and universities equip them.

University administrators have left many rocks unturned in their efforts to improve the experiences for their female students, and their ideological biases may influence what “solutions” they seek out.

Of all the myriad ways that campuses have approached the issues female students face in an attempt to create a more egalitarian environment, the most overlooked but sinister root of the objectification — or even animalification — of women is also one that many campuses allow without monitoring: pornography access via campus-provided Internet.

I saw other coverage of this on the phone, so I found this in relation to it.  Some other campuses are joining in.

Funny how the decadent left are becoming downright prudes when it comes to heterosexual relations. Hijabs for the normals, leather and bondage for the deviants.

They are literally trying to turn sexuality completely in reverse.

You can't fix stupid. But apparently you can send it to college where it multiplies.

I run such a program on my computer. I have them on my kids computer. It does manage to catch a lot of the crapola. I also don't mind the university filtering it's own wi-fi of the smut. Where I do mind is when they censor what you "legally" view in your own home (purchase your own internet)...

That said, I do understand the slippery slope of an university deciding what is deemed worthy of viewing (next it will be conservative filters etc...)... but drawing a line at porn is not crossing any line in my book. I being a grown butt man was tired of every other web page I visited throwing the crap in my face (I hunt for music in some shady places)...

Anybody that thinks women don't watch porn doesn't understand much about women.

This is SO dang easy to fix... Put it across the tracks... Instead of www. , make it xxx. ...
Move it all over there, and then those that wish to need only filter out the highest address hierarchy.

Solved... Those that wish to can still get at it, but those who don't want to see it, either for themselves or their children, can block it out entirely.
