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

Pornography is still alive and not illegal for two reasons:

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).”

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?

There's no way Republican Trump won all seven swing states. How was he able to cheat and steal the election?

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

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.

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

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.

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

…criminals.

What makes someone feel "rich enough" in different societies?

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

That’s not a coincidence.

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.

Here’s a neat mental exercise:

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.

Making it illegal harms people, especially women.

Why are perceived or real slights interpreted as rejections and reality by pwBPD?

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

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

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

Why aren't U.S. prisons more like Marine Corps boot camp, were every second of the day there are mandatory activities so that at night everyone is so tired they go to sleep until wakeup at 5:30 am? Would this make prisons safer for all?

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.

Compare your lists. Notice anything funny?

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

If James Bond is meant to be the best secret agent in the world, how come all the bad guys in the World seem to know who he is?

Making it illegal harms people, particularly women.
