Watching porn and playing video games leave men isolated, unable to relate to women and unable to function in society.

This post was deleted for the following reason: This is just a super short, perfunctory 5-question interview that makes a lot of really heavy claims, so really thin for a post on a controversial matter. Possibly something more in-depth? -- taz



 
1: Do not even attempt to read the comments on that article.
2: Just men? Has no-one studied the effect these same things have on women? I would expand on this, but I have Torchlight paused in the background.

Watching porn and playing video games in excess may leave men isolated, unable to relate to women and unable to function in society.

I haven't done any of this research and didn't even fully read the article, but my three word alteration is already far more accurate.

Not spending time with women means you can't relate to them.

Much of the book is focused on fatherlessness and men's relationship with women.

Okay, so video games, porn *and* a lack of strong male role models are destroying "national productivity".

Anything else? How about this new fangled rock'n'roll music. Should be concerned about that too?
