As much as I am against Over sexurlizing of women, and Deeply against real life abuse of any kind. I be against tying games to social problems. To many groups trying that already one reason we have a rating system now for Games. There are way to many think that Games or entertainment of any kind causes behavior. The Comic book industry was almost destroyed because of such views, movies often fight the mind set. The Gaming companies are now the latest target. No need to add more fuel to that fire.

Actually, scores of studies have proven that exposure to graphic images does lower sensitivity, and surprisingly quickly. Years ago (more than I care to recount) I was employed as a Learning Resources Technician - because Media is an excellent tool for education, (and indeed, propaganda) and is known to affect learning very effectively and efficiently. What one sees gives one the feeling of experiencing it, and we are all geared to learn from experience.
Many corporations use training videos. Most distance learning involves media. The armed forces and emergency services also use video in training, and more to the point, we count time spent on simulators as some of the most effective training of all.
The correct counter-argument is that we are not only exposed to negative learning, because games and movies also show heroism, love, determination, resolve, etc. Mostly, the 'good guys' win. Again, there is a known correlation between media depiction of relationships, and what is expected, and what people will then seek in relationships. The only argument that holds no water whatsoever is to argue that the media does not affect attitudes among those exposed to it.
Of course, given that 'the media' are the ones making a living from the media, they pretty much give no attention to the studies and evidence against it, except very occassionally to highlight a particularly weak piece of research that they can show being argued against. Go direct to university websites though and you will find hundreds of studies that all showed a strong and direct correlation between what we see, and how we feel.
