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

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

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.

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

What changed for Shedeur Sanders over the past 2 weeks, and his status in the Browns QB competition: Mary Kay - Cleveland.com

Here’s a neat mental exercise:

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

Making it illegal harms people, especially women.

Can a Trump supporter explain what was wrong with what Bishop Budde said to Donald Trump?

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.

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).”

That’s not a coincidence.

What are the reasons for your political affiliation with the Democratic party? What are some aspects of the party that you support and some that you do not?

…criminals.

Pornography is still alive and not illegal for two reasons:

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?

What are the major security challenges facing India, both domestically and internationally, and how does the government address them?

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

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.

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

Where can Ukrainians go if they cannot have shelter and heating this winter?

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.

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

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.

Why does it seem that Quora's "moderators" base their moderations on personal beliefs and views by deleting answers that are only violating their personal feelings?

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

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

Compare your lists. Notice anything funny?

Why do people hate fat people so much, even people who aren't exactly supermodels themselves? It seems like such a deep, passionate hatred, like they're offended by fat people just existing. Fat people didn't do anything to them, so why hate them?

Making it illegal harms people, particularly women.
