If my thesis is right, then woman-positive porn should have some effect towards calming sexism, racism, and militarism -- that is, *if* consumers bottle-fed on high-impact thrill porn can develop a taste for kinder, gentler woman-positive porn.
The question, in this context, is whether porn is the "illness" or the "symptom." Will changing the porn improve our society or is it rather that improving our society will, very naturally, change the type of porn we crave? When you take porn out of the center, the issues of victim blaming, non-consensual fantasies, and other "deviant" sexuality go away (please note I'm not condoning actual non-consensual porn or behavior of any type).
If we can transform our world into a healing and functional place where people can develop their sexuality in an atmosphere of tolerance and acceptance -- without guilt, shame, and abuse*, then we would be able to see the true and full spectrum of healthy human sexuality. Healthy porn would naturally follow.

* How do we do this? I wish I knew.
