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

…criminals.

Pornography is still alive and not illegal for two reasons:

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

Why do you allow your cat to lie in bed with you?

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

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).”

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.

Compare your lists. Notice anything funny?

Making it illegal harms people, particularly women.

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.

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?

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.

Making it illegal harms people, especially women.

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

That’s not a coincidence.

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

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

What is it like to be the slave in a mistress-slave relationship?

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.

Here’s a neat mental exercise:

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

What does the Turkish word çıplak mean?

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 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.

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

Why is the French way to say please is "S'il te plaît" and not "Pour Favour" like Spanish and Portuguese "Per Favor" and Italian "Per Favore" in the Romance languages group?

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