Here is the updated trend with most of the controls. In JSE I could say: although the absolute size of the gender gap in opposition to pornography has not grown, as both lines are trending toward zero the ratio of women's to men's opposition *is* increasing, so our theory is still correct. JSE!

Funny thing happened after 2012 (see figure). This is why wee need the Journal of Subsequent Events. The paper is still puttering along at half a dozen citations per year, and apparently no one noticed the trend changed. Why should I bother to tell you this, if it will only hurt me? JSE!
