Let's ban porn at least, because it's harmful to women, both personally to those involved in this industry, and societally in the misogynistic attitudes it normalizes.

I'm conflicted on this issue. I think it harms the people who use it, and I have been harmed by my use of it, but at the same time I am uncomfortable about such a ban-through-law due to speech issues? Not that there's any valuable speech that is expressed through it, but I think it is best to have a very wide buffer around the region of "what could actually be important as a way to express views", because if the boundary of what is legally protected is at all close to the boundary of things actually important to protect, I expect the law to get it wrong and have things that need to be protected, not be protected. Or at least, I think the risk of that is too high. (Though, the really weird thing is how there is porn about porn being harmful? bizarre.) (That being said, I'm all for private platforms tending to ban it, at least provided that the reason they can do so isn't just due to monopoly stuff. So if twitter banned it, that would be good imo.)

Porn is probably one of the few vents that keep most men relatively docile these days. I am not sure misogyny would decrease if it were banned.

let's not legislate morality please. I've been interested in doing niche porn, because I have an unusual body, and feeling sexy feels good. I don't want a bunch of men deciding that what I do is harmful to me and needs to be banned.

Increase in Net access decreases rapes, probably due to porn.[0] Personally, I call that a good thing, even if yes, porn can be very unhealthy for both creators and consumers.

Porn isn't inherently harmful, abusive nor misogynistic. It can be, and very often is, but that's not the point of it. I believe that it simply reflects the properties of the society as a whole. A feministic society would come with feministic porn in its spotlight.
