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

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

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.

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).”

Do women lack the mental strength to succeed at STEM? There seems to be few women at STEM and more women leave STEM after a time of working at it. How can it be just sexism if women aren't banned from entering?

Compare your lists. Notice anything funny?

Here’s a neat mental exercise:

Pornography is still alive and not illegal for two reasons:

My wife has a bunch of really attractive friends, and she expects me to never say anything to her about how beautiful they are. Does this seem fair? I love my wife, and just commenting shouldn’t hurt anything, right?

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

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.

Why do I want to suck cock, after smoking methamphetamine?

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

Making it illegal harms people, especially women.

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

My blog is new. I need 10 article posts for my blog. How much should I pay for it?

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.

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

Making it illegal harms people, particularly women.

How do we write and pronounce "it's my pleasure" in Italian?

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

…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.

How did the use of cows change in Indian culture over time? Is the value of cattle still important in modern times?

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.

That’s not a coincidence.

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?

Are judges being lenient on hard criminals?

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