He Says / She Says
Linked commentaries on the Rimm study and Time "Cyberporn" article

Welcome to He Says / She Says, a cross-referenced link-farm to some of the critiques of the Rimm study of pornography on the net, and the Time article it prompted. In all the included documents, I left the text unmodified but added links and anchors to relevant parts of other documents.

To get up to speed on the issue, I'd recomend starting here. This will also give you a much larger list of critiques, as I only cross-referenced a few documents that quoted other authors extensively.

Colored dots indicate links leading to relevant sections of each of the following documents:
