Iceland plans on blocking internet porn

And as above has stated, if you are an adult and you can't seperate fiction and real life, it is that person that has a problem, not the fiction.

And saying violent pornography = violent crimes is just like saying violent movies = violent crimes, and last time i checked there was no proven connection that watching violent media makes you more violent.

You are misunderstanding my point. Pornography is not necessarily damaging to women because it gives women a skewed view of social norms or what is acceptable, it is damaging to women because it gives men a skewed view of what they should expect from relationships or what is acceptable by society's standards. (Note: I am not saying here that only men watch porn, because it has been proven that people of both sexes watch pornography).

Your statement that "women" should be adults seems to imply that viewers of pornography are also adults. This is not always the case because whether illegally or not, adolescents do watch pornography. Much of this can have violent or aggressive scenes which can affect how they perceive women. Pornography also tends to objectify women by primarily focusing on their body parts, which also detaches a personality from those parts. It almost dehumanizes women, where they seem to be more parts than person.

Whether or not you feel that only "dumbasses" take this seriously, violent pornography does convey certain messages to the viewer and those can have harmful affects on both the viewer and on their sexual partners in the future. Adolescents and even some adults can be very impressonable and oblivious to subliminal messaging and can be harmed if they take these messages seriously.

Btw, I am not trying to advocate the removal of pornography from the internet. I am simply trying to bring awareness to the fact that the integration of pornography into our society can have harmful affects on both women and men.
