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

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

Making it illegal harms people, particularly women.

Compare your lists. Notice anything funny?

Why do programmers choose to write their own code instead of using code that is already available online?

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

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?

Why does Christianity push reconciliation after a partner cheats? Mine had a 7-year affair with someone half my age. He cheated and lied. He is not the same to me.

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

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

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.

Pornography is still alive and not illegal for two reasons:
