The opposite is true, it's banning the strip clubs that violate the rights of the women who work in them.

Perhaps the poor Finns will have to revert to having intercourse with their reindeer, as in times past.

I concur. Women don't care enough to vote for the anti-porn party, but men sure as hell care enough to vote against them.

Couldn't that be better attributed to the emergence of the Bright Future, and possibly the stepping down of the PM?

I think this is a very good idea, as it will increase the next generation's computer skills.
As for the unpopularity of this law, I doubt any government will fall over this, other than people on the internet, people will mostly not care.

All Icelandic governments are going to be comically unpopular for quite a while yet, probably.

Men are rigorously socialized and encouraged to be absolutely awful in a ton of ways.

They've been at or around 11% for a while so it's probably has nothing to do with it. Still I doubt this is a vote winner in any way.

other than people on the internet, people will mostly not care.

If you think that men who look at porn at the net is a very slim minority you need to think again. People might not speak up about it for not wanting to seem like perverts, but it'll still piss them off. This is like banning cigarettes, except it's gonna affect a larger group of voters.

We're talking about how the population of a country votes, not individual experience.
