Make a list of the countries where women are treated as second-class citizens or property.

When you ban porn, you turn porn production into a criminal enterprise. Criminal enterprises are run by…

Look, this is simple, so I’ll type slowly: The more open, legitimate, and free porn production is, the fewer women are trafficked. Why on earth would you take the risk of trafficking people to force them to do something plenty of people are willing to do voluntarily?
