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

Making it illegal harms people, particularly women.

Making it illegal harms people, especially women.

That’s not a coincidence.

When is the best time for an adult with ADHD to take Ritalin or Adderall to avoid interfering with their sleep?

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).”

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.

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

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.

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.

Is there a reason why many men give up on dating and relationships? Is the dating scene difficult for them?

Here’s a neat mental exercise:

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.

How does one succeed in life?

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?

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.

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.

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

…criminals.

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

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

Compare your lists. Notice anything funny?
