and girls into this form of prostitution. At bottom, it's all about male entitlement to women's bodies, either directly or by proxy, which is porn. Too many men, especially on the political left, think they have a "right' to exploit women through prostitution and porn. It isn't a "right." No human rights violation is. Prostitution of all types, including porn, also isn't "freely chosen." Nobody "chooses" to get raped vaginally or anally or orally up to twenty or thirty times a day, every day. Nobody does this unless they are desperate financially. Money is always coercion; women would never do this if it weren't for money. Far from being "empowering," it is MEN who have all the power. They can simply not pay. Furthermore, women won't be involved with disgusting, violent men who make up the clientele of prostitution if there was no money exchanged. That is just a fact. Porn is simply another form of prostitution, just rape on camera.

Porn use is a huge factor in more women refusing to date men anymore or at all. What is depicted isn't "fantasy" but real. Just think of it: increasingly depraved acts such as BDSM (which is aberrant whether you agree with it or not), urinating and defecating on women, ejaculating on their faces, calling them all kinds of vile names, and engaging in attempted murder which is sugarcoated "choking," has in some quarters been mainstreamed. This is serial killer-type of depravity, and porn normalizes it. Boys as young as 11 are being introduced to it, which is a disaster for women and girls. Women and girls are afraid to date men and boys anymore because they don't know if they will even survive the night.

Porn is poison. The problem is this bill won't go anywhere because organizations like the ACLU, long in bed with the porn lobby, have dishonestly characterized the violation of women's and girls' bodies as "speech." Plenty of dumb judges have gone along with it, except, of course, for kiddie porn, but the issue is identical because there is always coercion involved for women and girls to get into this "industry." My feeling is anybody who downloads or traffics in it should be labeled a sex offender for life and get jail time. That would all but get rid of it once and for all.

Women and girls are not commodities to be bought and sold. Porn, prostitution, and surrogacy are profoundly wrong. There is no "right" to sex or to parenthood. Nobody, especially on the political left, has the will or courage to stand up against these violations of women's rights. It is too easy for the right to jump in, and of course, they do it for all the wrong reasons. They don't care about women and girls. It is just a wedge issue to them. But too many on the left don't seem to care, either. That is the tragedy.
