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).”

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.

Pornography is still alive and not illegal for two reasons:

Why don't I get sleep at nights?

Making it illegal harms people, particularly women.

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

Compare your lists. Notice anything funny?

How long will it take Christian president-elect Donald J. Trump to restore our nation's moral values?

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

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.

Here’s a neat mental exercise:

I'm a 27 year old male currently but I am going through going through gender dysphoria. Why do some transgender people (specifically transgender women since I see that the most) call themselves trannies or shemales? Aren't those offensive words?

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

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

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.

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

What makes Nigerian scammers skilled at impersonating people? Is their success a result of intelligence or other factors?

That’s not a coincidence.

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

Making it illegal harms people, especially women.

What is the most popular boat rental service in Pompano Beach for birthday parties or special events?

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

…criminals.

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.

Are there legal obligations to report the known whereabouts of a missing person that doesn’t want to be found?

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.
