I'm with x2000 on this. In the last 15 years or so, prosecutors have found that witch-hunting is great fun, and a good way to gain votes from radical feminists and radical Christians at the same time. On many sex-related subjects, from child molestation to workplace "sexual harrassment", a mere hint of accusation is enough to destroy and convict. The rule of law no longer exists in those areas. So a certain amount of self-censorship is necessary for survival, just as it always has been in totalitarian societies. (And every society is insanely strict about something. The subjects of this insanity just vary with history and geography.) If nothing else, self-restraint makes it possible to be genuinely outraged (and to stir up sympathy) when the witch hunters finally get around to burning you.
