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

Making it illegal harms people, particularly women.

Pornography is still alive and not illegal for two reasons:

Here’s a neat mental exercise:

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

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.

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

How do I remove the music from a movie or animation? I want to keep the audio from the dialogue and sound effects, but remove the music so that I can add my own.

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

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

That’s not a coincidence.

What are the differences between promotions and sales?

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

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).”

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.

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.

Compare your lists. Notice anything funny?

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

Have you ever had your crush reject you, and then later you all dated and married?

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.

Making it illegal harms people, especially women.

…criminals.

What do the Kamala Harris/Tim Walz campaign ads following Taylor Swift's endorsement mean?

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

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.

What happens if someone fills up their car at the pump but leaves without paying? How is this situation typically handled?

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.
