1. Pornography is demeaning to women.
Is it also demeaning to men since men are also often portrayed? What of other things, like modelling clothes or makeup? Or any other activity that any woman might be capable of doing? Personally I cannot see this as being valid since any activity could be seen as demeaning, for example being a house wife is considered demeaning both on the individual level and to the entire female gender by some of the women in my family, that does not mean that it is immoral.
2. Pornography is negatively influencing men to treat women more aggressively, or in other negative ways.
If true, this would suggest that pornography would be a useful treatment for men who act too passively towards women... I have not heard of it being used in this manner, so I would doubt its efficacy.
It's dehumanizing not just to women but to all. It is a process of dehumanization.
