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:

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?

…criminals.

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).”

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

That’s not a coincidence.

Why do trans people get so deeply offended when a stranger misgenders them, especially when it's a first encounter? I've been socially transitioned for 4 years and it just feels like a waste of energy to be so hurt by it.

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.

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

Why do I sweat a great deal while exercising the same on some days and not so much on others?

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

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

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

Why does my mom never wear underwear?

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

Making it illegal harms people, particularly women.

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.

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?

Making it illegal harms people, especially women.

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.

Compare your lists. Notice anything funny?

How do individuals become targeted individuals? Is it solely due to experiencing stalking or harassment, or are there other factors involved?

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.

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.

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

Why do narcissists devour so much sugar (candy, ice cream, donuts, etc., in huge amounts at a time)?

Here’s a neat mental exercise:
