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

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, particularly women.

That’s not a coincidence.

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.

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

Here’s a neat mental exercise:

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.

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

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.

Pornography is still alive and not illegal for two reasons:

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

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

My boyfriend won’t tell me his past and it hurts me so I broke up with him what do I do?

What sexual fantasies do you have?

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.

Compare your lists. Notice anything funny?

You guys are talking about having sex with dogs. I heard a news man was trying to have sex with a female dog and got stuck inside. Is that possible? How does it feel inside a dog’s vagina?
