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.

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

Here’s a neat mental exercise:

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

Compare your lists. Notice anything funny?

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).”

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

…criminals.

Pornography is still alive and not illegal for two reasons:

How did you cope when someone you love, dealing with hyper-independence and trauma, felt they needed space to heal alone? Were you able to support them without overstepping, and did you eventually reconnect? How did that journey unfold?

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

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.

What is the process of becoming an Evangelical preacher? Is attending seminary school necessary? How long does it typically take? Is it financially challenging?

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.

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.

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.

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?

Making it illegal harms people, especially women.

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

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

Making it illegal harms people, particularly women.
