This is just the continuation of the "public health crisis" excuse to ban something people don't agree with. Smoking, Sugary drinks, guns, etc. The slippery slope continues.
C'mon, it's much more than that. The men in the US are not getting married, and having fewer children. Our birth rates are low and getting lower and sometimes I wonder if the real reason they don't crack down in illegal immigrants on either side is because they boost the numbers when it comes to birth rate.
At any rate, denying men access to porn will likely lead to more babies. At least, until the robot sex bots are under $5k.

And American women are in general gold digging bitches. They are surrounded by men yet continue to be maximisers and look for something better that those around them (that isn't coming). Or those other women that would marry for a first time at 21, for second time at 25, for third time at 28, divorce them all and live of forcefully extracted alimony for the rest of their lives without a day working any real job. It is not surprising that within the first ten questions of meeting a woman (if she at all approves how you look and how expensive clothes you wear so she even talks to you) are questions like where you live, what sports club you are a member of, what is the make&model of your car, and sometimes even how much do you make. There are also those that will tell you a story of their bad life choices and how they are studying to be a nurse (so they can reinvent themselves) and directly ask for money. No wonder American men have some self preservation instincts left and stay away from American women.
I've met a few (blessedly few) women of such temperament, even a few friends, and I say go for it woman - be as blatant about it as you like, it makes it all the easier for me to steer clear, and there's certainly no shortage of men trying to buy women's attention with flashy cars, big bankrolls, etc. I say the two groups deserve each other, and may their financially-based relationships bring them as much happiness as money can buy.
If you've been suffering such a stream of repeated encounters with such women to breed the bitterness you're giving voice to, then let me offer a bit of advice: You know all those hot women with well-sculpted bodies, beautiful hair, and flawless makeup that invariably catch your eye? That almost always takes work, a LOT of work, to maintain. Between personal grooming and cosmetics, plus maintenance throughout the day, and regular exercise to maintain that sculpted body, you can easily be talking an hour or two per day. Plus almost completely depriving themselves of the sweet and fatty foods we all love. Assuming they also have a job to pay the bills, and sleep the recommended 8 hours a day, that can be over 1/4 of their daily free time spent on activities geared toward creating an image unnaturally attractive to men. That's ferocious long-term dedication to a "hobby", and you can reasonably expect they want a return on investment. Enjoy their work as you would any other art exhibit, and walk on past.
If you want a woman who will stand beside you as an equal or helpmate instead, then try focusing instead on women who look a bit more like, well, you. Possibly a bit more of a belly because they generally have a metabolism better optimized to storing calories against the lean times than you, Comparable cleanliness and grooming. Not much makeup on a regular basis. Start there, and you'll at least be much more likely to be dealing with a person you can actually relate to, who spends their free time doing things they actually enjoy rather than trying to snag a good "catch", and who is looking for a partner to share their life with, rather than an investor in their beauty.
Isn't this the AC point exactly? Many women are like that and many men stay clear of them. The marketing and advertising industry just turns more and more young girls into the type you described, while more and more boys turn into men staying clear of such women. It will be practically to the extend that some day all women will be like that and all men will avoid them. Hence.. zero birth rate.
Well, it is a kind of equilibrium. There were women investing mainly in their attractiveness since... well, at least before the dawn of humankind. And yes, a lot of men stay clear, but not all. Those men and women tend to have a lot less children. Seems convenient to me.

I bet you'd say this and then promptly go marry a Filipino woman who only wants you for your money.
Advice from a Chinese friend: Don't marry a foreign woman unless you speak her language well enough that she won't learn English once she gets here. Otherwise she will turn into an American woman in 5 years and you will both be ruined.
There was one time when a woman I didn't know showed up at a meeting of an organization I belonged to. I started to talk to her (with, admittedly, a slight hope that it might develop into sex some time later), and a few minutes later I felt like I'd been in a job interview. One of the weirder conversations I've had.
Then you're the fool for talking to those women on their own terms.
Talk to them as you would to someone you weren't sexually interested in. (I was going to say "as a man", but realized you'd take that as a suggestion to tell off-color jokes and try to talk about cars or sports.) Find out what they do for a living, what they've been doing for the past few years, what sort of people they mix with, and most importantly, how long they've been living alone.
And if they are a gold-digging bitch, and don't have any
When you make your mark in the world, watch out for guys with erasers.
