For a while a couple of decades ago, before Spam filters were effective, I had an email address on the front page of a web site. Such a public address attracted tons of spam, and a bizarrely huge portion of that spam was porn.
I was baffled as to why our government allowed such horrors to be legal. And no, perverts disguising as libertarians, I don't just mean nudity. There were a few selling points that would come up again and again, and one was promises of seeing incest and/or rape. I sure hope most of this was merely acting, and not the actual depiction of crime. But even so, surely this failed the Miller test.
See, the Miller test was a standard the Supreme Court used to legalize porn without voting to legalize porn. It said porn could be prohibited if "the average person, applying contemporary community standards", would find that the work, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest; if the work depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct or excretory functions[4] specifically defined by applicable state law; and if the work, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.
Surely banning rape and incest, even if it were acting, would pass the Miller test, right? And surely it's prostitution, right? Not in Kamala Harris' California. Harris wasn't the first Attorney General of California or of San Francisco to passively approve of rape porn. In fact, she only became AG of the state after spam filters made my job a lot less disgusting. But as the first known prostitute to become Attorney General, she certainly did allow the porn industry in California to flourish unrestrained.
Now, Republicans labeling Harris a whore doesn't work politically, even if she actually was legally a whore. It comes off all 19th-century patriarchical, women-blaming, etc. After all, it sort of *is* men's fault that Willie Brown was allowed to make his whore San Francisco's district attorney. To make the point, there is no word that sounds as viscerally loathing to describe Willie Brown. "John" just doesn't compare with "whore."
But rape porn? For all the pure nonsense that prostitution is "empowering" to women, how can rape porn be anything of the sort? And if there has ever been one woman who COULD have done something about rape porn, it was Kamala Harris, who decided that rape porn is either not offensive or it doesn't violate community standards.
Let the Democrats defend Kamala Harris's position on rape porn.

Sounds like you sure made a thorough and extensive study of that spam responding to your online email address!
But I don’t exactly see how you would classify what you describe as “prostitution”.
Yes please, let’s talk about everything except the illegals, the economy and giving billions to Ukraine, because complaining about what people watch in their own homes and injecting religion into a political party totally won over the voters in the past, right?
I knew I’d get perverts masquerading as libertarians! What about paying people to have sex fails your definition of prostitution?
As with any street walking whore no one respects one. They are paid for a job and expected to leave. No one in the swamp respects Kamala. She is as you say. She exchanged her body for power. She is VP because she checks DIE boxes. We shall all see the respect they have for her when the party doesn’t nominate her.
So you think only religious fanatics have a problem with rape and incest? Hmmm...
Are we talking real rape and incest? Are you saying Kamala legalized real rape and incest?
I expressed my skepticism that the content was real (even though the subject lines promised it was), but surely you’re not claiming that you’ve never heard of the human trafficking (hey — now we’ve tied it to the immigration issue) that goes along with California’s porn industry, are you?
She refused to release an innocent man on death row. The Supreme Court had to jump in to save this man.
1. The majority of porn is not in CA
2. Notice how many of the claims of the trafficking are coming from angry ex-porn stars who all happen to be old and are no longer hired, almost as if, wait for it, they have a chip on their shoulder
“She refused to release an innocent man on death row. The Supreme Court had to jump in to save this man.”
THIS is what needs to be discussed in public
>> 1. The majority of porn is not in CA <<
I actually dared ask Google if this were still true.
>> 2. Notice how many of the claims of the trafficking are coming from angry ex-porn stars who all happen to be old and are no longer hired, almost as if, wait for it, they have a chip on their shoulder <<
Huh, that’s odd. I’ve always heard about it from sheriffs and other LEOs talking about the rescues. What kind of a person imagines that sex trafficking is just disgruntled, aging porn stars?
>> THIS is what needs to be discussed in public <<
Wow, it’s ALMOST like you can criticize someone for more than one thing!
If you wanna bring up human trafficking as a talking point at least use Ukraine, the one thing on everyone’s mind
Right, because CLEARLY that’s an issue where the public is far more united on than their opposition to illegal immigration or rape porn. *eyeroll*
Half or more of the electorate think Trump raped a woman in a department store dressing room. Best to ignore this line of attack against Kamala, who is not guaranteed to be the Presidential (or even Vice Presidential) nominee.
track record, word salads and giggles are a campaign advertisers dream
The defense of pornography going back decades has been at least as intellectually deficient as any other leftist or mostly leftist theorization.
The deficiency is in the failure to recognize or discuss the costly effects of pornography on behavior, and in the assumption that pornography somehow profits the user:
1. Pornography becomes an addiction which, through the process of tolerance, leads to child pornography and beastiality. Ask anyone in law enforcement with experience in prosecuting these crimes.
2. The pornography industry runs on human trafficking: where money is moved in massive quantities, there is always management of it.
3. The use of pornography is devastating to relationships; what could otherwise have been a normal and fulfilling marriage becomes a dynamic of betrayal, antagonism and despair.
4. The fact that there are no social, psychological, emotional or physical benefits from the use of pornography explains why no proponent has ever articulated any.
