Porn by itself wouldn't be the problem given that we've had thousands of years to draw naked women and even host sex shows.
It's the combination of feminism making women reject natural family roles and traditional values that made it into a toxic influence, not to mention a lot of the porn industry being focused on shoving trans and gay shit onto people through porn.
Get rid of feminist influence and I wouldn't be surprised if porn consumption goes down. The opposite will probably do nothing at best, lead to worse behavioural incidents at worst as they might copy the Muslim method of getting women..
It's also just too readily accessible, and too technologically advanced. Modern porn certainly isn't cave paintings or erotic art.
It also feeds on itself; access to porn in a healthy culture might be fine, but access to porn in a shit culture, with lots of shit parents, and shit standards where no one cares and there's no community, leads to kids starting young and getting hooked and stuff.
And, yeah, like you said, women being driven away from traditional roles also make men more likely to turn to porn.
It's circular; a destroyed society leads to porn consumption, and porn overconsumption further damages society.
There's no easy fix either. Even a ban wont have an effect for 10+ years. Not saying don't even try, but it's difficult to think-tank a solution. Because widespread porn consumption is more of a symptom of a deeper problem, than the root itself.
Prob need to separate boys and girl's schools. Build some mystery and walls between them. Girls would be more likely to be trad fem as they wouldn't be aping boys. Boys would have teachers that wouldn't have to supress the class for girls, and would be less likely to go femboy to compete with girls for attention. Basically the division of sexes would reinforce the traits you need to foster so they make for better partnering later.
There's an easy fix. There isn't a bloodless fix.
Spilling blood is hard because then the situation spirals out of control quickly.
What southern states are doing is a good first step.
Prove you’re 18+, not just with a wink, but actually verify.
Porn site are then removing themselves.
Absolutely not. I've said it before, but that just ends online anonymity, under the guise of 'think of the children.' It's a very slippery slope to full on internet ID.
And, as I've said, it affects everyone, not just minors, since adults need to prove they're not minors, meaning everyone shows ID to access some websites. And what if it expands? It's a hop skip and a jump to demanding ID for other "adult" gated activities...like exercising your Second Amendment rights. "Government needs your ID to even look at gun content" isn't that far removed, for example.
Miss me with that.
Internet anonymity is one of the few good things the current landscape has given us, and we need to keep it, or we lose hard.
Easy fix is death penalty for people that produce porn.
