Well, censoring porn is one of the things I would happy to be censoring. Although this leads down a steep road easily to censor other content also, yet for a long time I have wondered why is it so easy to find porn, and why is nobody doing anything about it ? Porn is probably one of the major addictive behavioural and thought changing things in this world currently. It takes under 3 seconds to find porn if you want i…

I'm a woman. I watch porn. I've made porn (well, I've posted nudes online.) I definitely don't think it's twisted the way I see women (or, like, myself.) I'm pretty done with men deciding what's in my best interest though.

There are women on board with this as well, it's not just men. That narrative doesn't work.

What about the predatory nature of the industry ? 18 year olds being hunted down to "act" in these pieces, mostly by older men who are just using these women for their own pleasure and financial benefits. Is this okay ?

People have agency. Set an age of majority and treat those above it like adults. It's a hell of a lot better than infantilizing women and chauvinistically "protecting" us from exploitation. I feel like I'm finally starting to understand how burqas took off. This kind of moral panic. Keeping us safe from the lecherous eyes of men.

You can read up about Islamic and pre-Islamic Arabia from authentic (Muslim) sources regarding the Hijab and Niqab. No one is moral panicking.

I was responding to deserialized, who cited examples like public libraries where books are available to children. (At least I'm not aware of any public libraries with adult-only sections.) And in the context of the overall discussion of a bill attempting to restrict specifically children's (not adults') access to porn.

What porn have you been reading at the public library champ?

What a silly question to come back and ask two days later.

But since you asked, I'll respond. I have my own computer and internet connection, so I don't watch anything at the library. But it's not unheard of for homeless people to watch porn at the library.
