Measure = ?

Context:

Now let’s look at attitudes towards women. Studies of men who had seen X-rated movies found that they were significantly more tolerant and accepting of women than those men who didn’t see those movies, and studies by other investigators"female as well as male"essentially found similarly that there was no detectable relationship between the amount of exposure to pornography and any measure of misogynist attitudes. No researcher or critic has found the opposite, that exposure to pornography"by any definition"has had a cause-and-effect relationship towards ill feelings or actions against women. No correlation has even been found between exposure to porn and calloused attitudes toward women.

@oristarA,
measure = amount that can be measured.

A: How much flour should I use?

B: Any reasonable amount/measure will work.

I think they're talking more about different KINDS of measurements, than amounts. They're saying that, no matter how you measure misogyny, e.g. through polls or surveys or interviews or maybe things like crime statistics, or what scale you use, you won't find a relationship between exposure to pornography and a hypothesized correspoding effect on rates of misogyny.

@MontereyJack,
I agree that it's not a perfect synonym, MJ, [few are] but I couldn't think of a better way to explain it.
