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

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).”

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.

Pornography is still alive and not illegal for two reasons:

What's the biggest myth about illegal immigrants?

Making it illegal harms people, especially women.

Making it illegal harms people, particularly women.

…criminals.

Trump is shot, tackled by SS agents, yet then stands, defiant, with fist high, and 52 hours later, walks into the Republican Convention to thunderous applause. Is there anything that can stop this man, who loves his country? Does he get your vote?

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

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

That’s not a coincidence.

Do opposites attract? How often do you see weird couples like a guy/girl dating someone who is boring with no sense of humor ?

Compare your lists. Notice anything funny?

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

Here’s a neat mental exercise:

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.

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.

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

It has been said that people with ADHD can often hyperfocus. Can that be an advantage?

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

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.

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.

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

Normal people know that what your particular preachers say has no bearing on what is or is not legal.

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?

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