Read up on the Nordic legalization model. Penalizes johns instead of sex workers. It’s not a perfect system, but it’s better than the Dutch and American models.

Yep, I live in the Netherlands where: 1) prostitution is legal and there are a number of social services available to sex workers; and 2) the Netherlands is one of the world’s top sex trafficking destination countries and sex trafficking is a huge problem here. The percentage of Dutch women in sex work is the minority…

Unfortunately many countries have found that legalizing sex work doesn’t help with cracking down on trafficking. The US is a particularly difficult country to talk about, though, because there are fewer social services (e.g. welfare) in the US (compared to other western countries) that sex workers could turn to as an…

“Many sex workers argue that under their broad scope, SESTA and Fosta could cut off spaces to share safety information, stymie outreach efforts, and flag dangerous clients, while driving those clients and sex traffickers further off the radar.”

Okay, I literally have zero problem with you and I’m not trying to have a problem with you. I honestly don’t understand what is cliquey about anything I wrote. Isn’t the cliquey thing to create a problem with me because you have a problem with someone I like? Or to have a problem with me because I don’t agree with you…

Aaaaaaaaah. I remember this now. It did seemed random when she came after you. I thought she meant someone else too. You were not rude or anything and when you ask are you sure that was meant for me, she doubled down. I really do believe she mixed you up with someone else. So many people were commenting at her, she…

I recall reading the thread and thinking that it all escalated very quickly but was surprised at the names of those involved as always seen them as ‘good people’ so to speak, I ducked out as it descended into a slanging match so glad to see a follow up. Have seen much worse back in the day from genuine trollsticks and…

To the best of my recollection, Madeleine said that when comments are flagged they’re dealt with in the order they’re reported, first come, first serve and hundreds might be ahead of your flagging, so a few days might pass before the concerns get addressed. I think she said to contact the help desk or her if you were…

Yes, that’s the right post. :)

Seems like you are SUPER invested in letting dudes get away with awful stuff. It is really pretty transparent.

Yes!

What’s the end goal of discussing horrible things any public figure did? I would like to know if a favorite actor physically tortured another human being.

Am I the only middle-aged woman Hamm does nothing for? I mean, nothing.

Yeah. I see what you mean. He’s somewhat less skeevy now, but still just radiates “STAY AWAY”...

I was essentially acquitted.

Don’t I get to be the one that decides which actions of his actions or words I’ve found horrible in addition to this one? :)

That’s what bugs the shit out of me about this whole thing. He acts like the only person hurt in all this was HIM but he’s gotten past it all and moved on so everyone else should too. Are you fucking kidding me? Absolutely no mention of the guy he literally tortured and abused. That’s how I know he did all that…

If you think he’s creepy now, check him out when he was 25. I couldn’t watch the whole thing bc it skeeved me out so much

This part threw me but I’m too lazy to go look at the original records at this moment. Why is he saying he was acquitted when he received probation? You don’t receive punishment like probation if you’re actually acquitted...

I don’t give a damn if this dude is conventionally attractive. He has a creep factor that comes through loud and clear in everything I’ve seen him in. Pass.
