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…

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).”

Making it illegal harms people, especially women.

What is the most sentimental item you inherited from someone dear to you and what does it mean to you?

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.

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

What are the core beliefs of liberalism and conservatism? Can you provide a list of defining characteristics for each side?

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?

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

Anthropic researchers predict a ‘pretty terrible decade’ for humans as AI could wipe out white collar jobs - Fortune

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.

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?

Why is there a "double standard" applied to sex between a dog and a human? Why is it that to many who are at least mildly okay with bestiality, a WOMAN having sex with a male dog is fine, but a guy with a female dog is not?

That’s not a coincidence.

Pornography is still alive and not illegal for two reasons:

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

What is the Replika app, and how does it work?

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 that most stringently ban porn, with the harshest penalties.

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

Is it true that most people in Québec are bilingual in French and English? If so, why do they often identify as monolingual?

…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.

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.

How do I stop someone from forcing/pestering me to become gay/bisexual when I already want to be straight?

Making it illegal harms people, particularly women.
