There are those here who will argue till the cows come home (and then some) that rape is really up instead of down. Mind you, they will ignore any evidence to the contrary and quote people like Gail Dines ad nauseum. Admitting anything else destroys the notion that 'porn causes rape', even though any evidence suggesting correlation, much less cause and effect is nonexistent.
