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:

…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.

What does it mean to live "the 'underconsumption' life"?

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.

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

Making it illegal harms people, particularly women.

Who are the archers in Genesis 49:23?

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

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

Making it illegal harms people, especially women.

How can fashion design be used to make a political statement in popular culture, and society?

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?

I am 11 years old and I think I am going through puberty. Why do my nipples hurt when I touch them? Is it normal?

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).”

That’s not a coincidence.

Here’s a neat mental exercise:

Canadians went out of their way to help Americans stranded in Canada after 9.11.2001. Why did Canadians help so much the way they did? We read that Canadians don't particularly like Americans to begin with.

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.

Compare your lists. Notice anything funny?

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

Is it okay if I am not interested to talk to any of my relatives as I saw the real faces in my brother's marriage as none of them helped us rather were a kind of disappointment and were talking bad?

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.

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

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

Who was the actor least deserving of an Academy Award?

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.
