In a world where everyone seems caught up in a whirlwind of confusion, it feels like there’s an island of clarity where common sense still reigns. That island is found when voices raised in concern point out the destructive nature of certain vices, like the consumption of pornography. For years, conservative voices have warned about the harmful effects of this content. People scoffed, mocked, and dismissed these warnings with eye-rolls and accusations of outdated thinking. But the truth? The truth was and remains that this content is not a path to happiness or fulfillment. Instead, it’s a shortcut to misery and dysfunction.
Once, it was easy to label these warnings as mere puritanical fear-mongering, but reality has a funny way of setting the record straight. People engulfed in the habit have had to look around and see the wreckage it causes in their lives. It starts subtly but soon becomes an invisible chain, dragging down relationships, ambitions, and individual self-worth. The clarity isn’t just anecdotal; it’s blatantly obvious. Folks who thought of themselves as liberated eventually find they’re just miserable and trapped in a cycle that gives nothing but takes everything.
Interestingly, a new wave of self-proclaimed feminists is stepping up, latching onto the same message that conservatives have echoed for years. They want credit for taking a stand against the very thing they’ve tacitly supported for so long. But just like with their fight against gender ideology, their position remains inherently flawed because it lacks a firm moral foundation. A coherent argument cannot be built on shifting sands, and moral relativism provides no real anchoring point. Simply put, one cannot oppose something like pornography while simultaneously embracing a worldview that refuses to acknowledge absolute truths.
This ideological inconsistency means that the feminist campaign against pornography is doomed to falter. They champion choice above all, yet fail to acknowledge the deeper societal harm caused by unrestricted access to harmful content. Genuine social change requires more than empty rhetoric; it demands adherence to core moral principles that transcend the whims and fads of the moment. The feminist movement, as it stands, is more interested in applauding itself for half-hearted gestures than in genuinely addressing cultural toxins.
In the end, conservatives hold the higher ground simply because they see and speak plainly about these truths. Traditional values offer the moral and social framework necessary to counteract the corrosive influence of pornography. Perhaps it’s time to revisit those traditional values, the ones that seemed so outdated to some. While the world flirts with relativism and confusion, conservatism provides a steadfast compass, pointing society toward what’s truly good and right.
