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.

Here’s a neat mental exercise:

Making it illegal harms people, especially women.

Distinctio minus aut doloribus vero minima ut vitae.

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.

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

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

What is the best sunscreen available for summers? My skin is oily.

Pornography is still alive and not illegal for two reasons:

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.

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.

What is AI's effect on digital marketing?

Making it illegal harms people, particularly women.

…criminals.

Compare your lists. Notice anything funny?

Do you agree with a toy company CEO that 'tariffs are almost like speeding towards a brick wall but the driver of the car doesn’t see it yet and by the time he does, it’ll be too late to hit the brakes.'?

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

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

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).”

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

That’s not a coincidence.

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.

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?

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.
