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

That’s not a coincidence.

Making it illegal harms people, particularly women.

Pornography is still alive and not illegal for two reasons:

Why do I sometimes hear full conversations when I am alone?

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.

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 are the basic human needs according to psychology? What are the consequences of not meeting these needs?

…criminals.

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 where women are treated as second-class citizens or property.

How do you say "I don't speak Italian yet, but I hope to speak it well one day. It would be a pleasure to learn Italian with you. Would you like to teach me Italian?" in Italian?

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

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.

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.

How can the citizens of Russia accept the enormous difference between people? The richest 500 Russians own more than the poorest 99.8% of the entire Russian population combined. Why don't we see any protests?

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

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?

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

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

Here’s a neat mental exercise:

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

Making it illegal harms people, especially women.

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

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

Which is better, a naked picture of some one you know or porn videos?

Compare your lists. Notice anything funny?
