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

That’s not a coincidence.

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

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).”

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

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

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?

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.

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

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

Here’s a neat mental exercise:

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.

Making it illegal harms people, particularly women.

What qualities do single women typically look for in a man? Is it a common preference for women to want a man who earns more than they do?

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

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.

Pornography is still alive and not illegal for two reasons:

Why can't ugly women date hot guys? I know a woman who wants a hot BF but people would just laugh at her and ask her "what can you bring to the table for him?", isn't that messed up?

Making it illegal harms people, especially women.

…criminals.

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

Do flat Earthers really exist? Why do they believe the Earth is flat?

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

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.

Compare your lists. Notice anything funny?
