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).”

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?

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

Why is Bollywood failing?

Here’s a neat mental exercise:

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.

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

I think that being gay is wrong, but I treat gay people respectfully like any other person. Is it homophobic? Or offensive in any kind of way? Aren’t disagreement and discrimination two different things?

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

Compare your lists. Notice anything funny?

Making it illegal harms people, especially women.

Do you agree that firearms are the most common weapon used in homicides of spouses, intimate partners, children or relatives? Should this data influence gun control policies?

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.

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

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 was your first impression of The Carter V by Lil Wayne? Did it feel like 2008 Wayne, when you heard the first few songs.

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

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

Making it illegal harms people, particularly women.

Why do you think it is bad to allow people to self-identify as a different gender?

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

That’s not a coincidence.

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.

How would you respond to Rep. Nancy Mace's claim that the GOP platform is more in line with what the American people want compared to the left?

Pornography is still alive and not illegal for two reasons:

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

…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.
