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).”

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

Making it illegal harms people, particularly women.

When I buy a house, do I automatically own all items the previous owner failed to remove from the property?

Pornography is still alive and not illegal for two reasons:

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

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.

He said he loves me, but why is it difficult for him to leave his wife?

Here’s a neat mental exercise:

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

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?

Are there legal obligations to report the known whereabouts of a missing person that doesn’t want to be found?

Compare your lists. Notice anything funny?

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

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

Why is the world male-dominated?

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.

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

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

I’ve a dismissive avoidant partner who said that he’s overwhelmed by our relationship and that he wants to break up, how do I get him back?

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

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.

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.

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.

That’s not a coincidence.

Can I use ChatGPT to get chapter ideas? I’ll be writing it with my own words but I just get writer’s block when it comes to what to write?

Making it illegal harms people, especially women.
