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

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

…criminals.

Here’s a neat mental exercise:

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.

There is no legitimate reason to make it illegal.

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.

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

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

Making it illegal harms people, particularly women.

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.

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.
