My lover loves porno. Should I love others?

Hope said:

In fact, studies have shown that many men who commit rape have started down this road by their addiction to pornography.

 

Reader "Logic Girl" disagrees:

I disagree because that statement is about as logical as saying that most sushi eaters started down that road by eating cooked fish.

The Slippery Slope Fallacy

It is true that anyone who has eaten sushi (or raped) probably has eaten cooked fish (looked at pornography) in the past. But this does NOT mean that eating cooked fish (reading pornography) LEADS to eating sushi (raping).

The fact is that many, many people eat cooked fish (look at pornography) and have no desire to try sushi.
