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

…criminals.

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

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.

In an interview Donald Trump said Taylor Swift could be a success in the music industry if she was not so liberal. What do you think? Is Trump correct that Swift is failing as a singer and should listen to his advice about her politics?

Making it illegal harms people, particularly women.

Compare your lists. Notice anything funny?

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

Can a cop pull you over walking home asking why you are out so late?

That’s not a coincidence.

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.

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

What does 'Whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys’ mean (Ezekiel 23:20)?

Here’s a neat mental exercise:

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.

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.

Why don't I get sleep at nights?

Making it illegal harms people, especially women.

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

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

What are some of the most annoying movie clichés?

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

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

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).”

Im a 14 year old girl who doesnt want to wear a hijab but my parents force me to wear one. It makes me dislike it more. Im not ready for one no matter what people say and they get really mad at me. I have bad grades and no motivation. What do I do?

Pornography is still alive and not illegal for two reasons:

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

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?

Consequatur explicabo natus minima expedita.

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.
