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

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

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?

Overthinking is killing me day-by-day. What should I do?

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).”

Here’s a neat mental exercise:

…criminals.

How do you view men and women who cheat?

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.

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

Pornography is still alive and not illegal for two reasons:

Do you think cheating is that bad?

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.

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

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

I told my 13-year-old daughter that she should never start a fight, but has my permission to end it. She got suspended for ending a fight that some other girl picked with her by hitting her then retreating. How do I handle the school’s response?

Making it illegal harms people, particularly women.

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.

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

How would you define love?

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

That’s not a coincidence.

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

Compare your lists. Notice anything funny?

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.

My parents force me (15yo atheist) to go to church, and there’s this thing called Small Sundays where we discuss the Bible in groups, there are questions asked about the Bible. What am I supposed to do when they ask?

Making it illegal harms people, especially women.
