Blind Magic Ep.1466 — Why We Must Talk About Porn, Decency and Sexual Violence
Episode 1466 of Blind Magic, recorded in Alice Springs, features host Murray Stewart addressing the escalating crisis of sexual violence against women and the societal factors he believes are fuelling it. Across the episode Murray argues that current responses — which often single out boys and men — are incomplete, and that real progress requires treating sexual violence as a collective problem involving the conduct of both sexes.
Topics covered include the influence of online pornography, shifting public standards of decency in nightclubs and hospitality venues, the role of parental guidance, and the impact of alcohol and drugs. Murray shares personal examples — including conversations with his own children and his daughter’s experiences managing dress codes at nightspots — to illustrate how behaviour by young women and the normalisation of explicit content can change young men’s expectations and contribute to anger, relationship breakdown and criminal behaviour.
Key points: the need for open, mature conversations about behaviour and temptation with both daughters and sons; criticism of victim-blaming rhetoric that shuts down debate; concerns about the commercialisation of explicit content and its effects on young people’s morals and finances; and a call for wiser, more intelligent public discussion led by experienced adults rather than name-calling or blaming.
There are no external guests on this episode—Murray Stewart presents a solo monologue and call to action: reinstate common decency, engage in frank conversations across generations, and urgently adopt a societal approach if we want to reduce sexual violence and its consequences.
