Reply #14: Uh, when it comes to consenting adults deciding what to do with their own bodies [View All]

you're damn right. It's not anyone else's business.

Are you defending the Theocratic nutjobs in Iran who are putting folks to death for taking pictures of adults fucking? Or just the Theocratic nutjobs in this country who want to ban it here?

Please define "exploitation". Is anyone who makes a choice you, personally, don't approve of being "exploited"?

And slavery? Wow. You win today's




award for that one!

Everyone knows damn well the slaves in this country didn't volunteer for it.

The bottom line is, many would-be control freaks want to be able to play God and determine which choices consenting adults should be able to make about their own bodies and lives for them, but all too often they don't feel like, or up to, articulating a cogent defense for the idea that they, personally, should get to sit on the throne of absolute moral arbitration over everyone else-

-so invariably, some version of non-consent or the like has to be manufactured to justify the censorship/control agenda. Namely, those people who are making this choice I don't approve of obviously must not know what they're doing, even though to all appearances they seem to be adults with free will... the fact that they are doing something I don't like means they must be "exploited" or somehow otherwise hyp-mo-tized into doing these things against their will.

You see the same arguments from the would-be porn censors as you see from the would-be abortion criminalizers; women who make these choices they find morally reprehensible become infantilized, "victimized" by the evil "industry" which magically removes their ability to make their own decisions about their own bodies.

It's a crock. Nice try.
