What is reasonable about the claim that we should be allowed to take naked pictures because it's inevitable?

Why is it inevitable? I reject that conclusion. Inevitability isn't an argument, it's a belief system.

I can say anything is inevitable. Shooting someone in the face is inevitable if guns exist. Okay, sure.

But shooting someone in the face is still illegal, no matter how inevitable it is. The solution isn't to make people good - because that's not reasonable.

I'm frustrated because this argument is so intrinsically and fundamentally flawed, and in such an obvious way, but I still have to argue against it.

I feel like I'm arguing that the sky is blue. Is this for real?
