Why is pornography still alive and not illegal? Why doesn’t the government do about tricking women into them?

When you ban porn, you turn porn production into a criminal enterprise. Criminal enterprises are run by…

Finally, “oh wow I want to protect the wimmens all the poor poor wimmens” ah HA ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha no you heckin’ don’t.

What your preacher says isn’t worth a wet fart through used toilet paper. Your preacher might say it’s a sin to eat pork or have sex on Sunday or cut your hair in certain ways or whatever, but that doesn’t make it the law of the land.

Why can't my adopted sister accept she is not part of my family because she isn't related? Why can't she stop calling my parents mum and dad?

If you ask anti-porn crusaders why porn should be banned, you will usually get three answers: “My preacher says the invisible god I worship says it’s wrong,” “sex is icky yucky ick ick ick unless it happens between people I say it should happen between, in situations I say it should happen in,” and “lookit all the women who are hurt by porn, I totally care about saving women (but not respecting their autonomy, offering them paid maternity leave, or, you know, doing any of those other things that would materially improve women’s lives).”

That’s not a coincidence.

Pornography is still alive and not illegal for two reasons:

How do people move on so quickly? I’m still sprung over someone I was dating and he found someone else so fast. I feel hurt because I’m still head over heels over him while he’s out enjoying his life with someone new

Say by creating an environment where people do the thing voluntarily, et voila.

Criminals who won’t hesitate to traffic people, if it makes them money. The way you solve the problem is to remove the financial incentive to traffic people.

Compare your lists. Notice anything funny?

Can you explain the concept of an annulment of marriage in the Roman Catholic Church and its effects on a previous marriage?

Make a list of the countries that most stringently ban porn, with the harshest penalties.

The number of women willing to do porn voluntarily is staggeringly high. Like you wouldn’t even believe.

Here’s a neat mental exercise:

Why is the world male-dominated?

Make a list of the countries where women are treated as second-class citizens or property.

Making it illegal harms people, especially women.

And what you personally consider icky has even less bearing on what is or is not illegal. You think porn sex is icky? Fine, you do you, bruh.

Who is the dumbest law enforcement officer you have ever encountered?

But don’t mistake your personal opinion for Moral Truth or the law of the land. If it were, I’d have eggplants (aubergine for you Brits) banned tomorrow.

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

Making it illegal harms people, particularly women.

Gold overtakes euro as global reserve asset, ECB says - Financial Times

Look, this is simple, so I’ll type slowly: The more open, legitimate, and free porn production is, the fewer women are trafficked. Why on earth would you take the risk of trafficking people to force them to do something plenty of people are willing to do voluntarily?
