Please do not listen to Slut Panic, who is telling you that “The Nordic model ... would make sex work a buyer market.” That’s not what happened in the Netherlands. What actually happened is that they legalized prostituting in order to be able to regulate it, saw human trafficking, physical abuse of prostitutes and…

Well the first step towards employment, is possessing an identity and this law supplies the 85% of prostitutes in France who have no identity papers with those papers.

“As long as johns are being punished and the sex trade must be conducted in secret organized crime will continue to profit from trafficking.” That was a progressive theory in Northern Europe for a long time. But it turned out to be wrong. Have you read what, I’m sure, others have linked to you, on the legalization of…

That’s not what actually happened under the Nordic model. Why would that happen in France?

Now that it’s been described as a pterodactyl it just looks cute to me.

So... awesome.

Thank you.

I just wrote back, critically, to someone posting about how “Boys get pigeonholed too” (as though there were any equivalency). BUT, I will say that I think that the backlash that this girl has received also has a lot to do with the belief that many adults have that children should not be educated in the specifics of…

“it’s not really fair to keep setting up this false dichotomy”

I agree. I just don’t see how this is a bad thing. Should it actually be hard to get married or to get divorced? I don’t think so. Is there anything noble about suffering in a bad marriage. I don’t think so either.

But the timing is coincidental. I know Jezebel, and several other sources are making it sound like this was a response to the fake sexual assaults. But that’s just not the case. Jezebel is a shit site that publishes yellow journalism. MRB has been planning to introduce women only cars for a long time. That’s obvious.…

This is not segregation. You don’t know what segregation is. That is the problem here. This is like affirmative action. It’s a redistribution of access to a public resource to a group that has been historically disenfranchised of that resource. If you understand the difference between segregation and affirmative…

Women don’t have to ride on the car. It’s just that men can’t ride on the car. Women can still go anywhere they like.

It’s not “herd them all together.” It’s “take some of this public resource away from men and give it back to women.”

It’s all women. So don’t worry.

And yet, despite your personal family history, your comment is still offensive, suggesting an equivalency between a racist policy and a progressive policy that doesn’t exist and is absurd.

Read my last comment. What you’re describing is actually the opposite of what happens in real life, in countries where these cars are already mandated.

I’ve been advocating for this policy in my other comments because I love women only cars. Having lived in two countries where they are mandated, I can tell you that it absolutely does not send the message the women are responsible for their own assaults. In fact, I’ve observed that it sends the opposite message. For…

As I explained in my last post, this is actually a very progressive policy. They aren’t “shoring women into their own car.” They are taking cars away from men and giving them to women. Trust me, having lived in countries where female only cars are mandated, this is a redistribution of public resources to the women.…

I have lived in two different countries with women only cars and I am completely supportive of this policy. It is a progressive policy that should be instated in the United State.
