Why do people insist on making bathrooms gender segregated? They should be sex segregated. You have a dick? Guess what, you use the men's room. You have lady parts? Off to the women's restroom for you. Come back to me when you've had the proper surgery, then we'll talk. Until then, use the bathroom that corresponds to…

There are several empirical studies that show that in countries where it is illegal to buy sex, fewer people buy sex and where there is less demand there are fewer human trafficking victims. The proportion of sex-workers exploited against their will is the same but when total demand is lower so is demand for human…
Most laws punish the trafficked victim. These laws go after the people who make trafficking profitable.
The Netherlands also moved from legalization (which increased trafficking and also physical abuse) to this model, with good results. And in Germany, where they have tried legalization and also seen abuses rise, will probably do the same.
The Netherlands and Germany legalized sex work specifically to make it safer, through regulation. It didn’t work. The Netherlands had to switch to decriminalization (this model) because when prostitution was legalized, and regulated, human trafficking and physical abuse of prostitutes skyrocketed. Germany is moving…
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…
Yes, yes, yes to your last sentence. In a reality where 85% of sex workers are trafficked and out of the 15% that do it “willingly”, a good chunk of those only do it because they’re desperate or they have no other options, it’s hard for me to prioritize the interests of the small number of women who do it 100% because…
In Germany it is very legal, even street advertising is ok! And there is still major trafficking. A couple not far from me got busted for having 25 sex slaves. Took their passports and charged men 99€ all-you-can-fuck-for-24-hours.
jesus not every sex wanting dude is going to think of criminal punishment and commit murder. Some might like, stop fucking buying sex, for instance. Or run when the cops come. Or take a petty charge. Or lie. Or get a lawyer and fight it. A lot easier than disposing of a dead body.
So you have no idea how to combat sex trafficking other than to pretend that sex trafficking is virtually nonexistent?
Abortions can protect the women’s health. Prostitutes are numerous suffering from substance abuse and PTSD, are atc bigger risk of dying in activity than any other field, and die young. Access to birth control is agency on your own body.
Prostitution is the ability for men to use (mostly) women’s and children’s bodies.
Legalization doesn’t really protect the prostitutes. It just protects the pimps and the johns.
“Meninism”? Really? A screen name that screams, “I’m an MRA who frequents prostitutes.”
The problem is few women will willingly work as prostitutes even if the job is safe and legal. There’s always going to be far more demand than supply so there’s always going to be sex slavery. When prostitution is illegal it lessens demand and makes it easier for police to find and rescue enslaved women.
Plus, victims of human trafficking are used for all kinds of labour, not just sex. But you don’t see as many people clamouring to make it illegal to hire cleaners, fruit pickers, manual labourers, salon beauticians, etc, etc. Could it be that we don’t mind turning a bit of a blind eye to poor people from other places…
Sweden did the same thing as France and it dramatically cut down on sex trafficking.
Even in countries where prostitution is legal and regulated sex trafficking is a huge concern. In the Netherlands in Germany it’s estimated that well over half of sex workers (some estimates up to 85%) are foreign women from less-affluent countries. This article is a few years old, but it has a good overview of some…
Good to know. I really wish safe, legal sex work were something that were feasible, but maybe it isn’t.
Not necessarily. Countries in Europe that have legal prostitution (someone above brought up the example of the Netherlands) have massive problems with trafficking, as the traffickers can pretty much force their slaves to work in plain sight in legal, registered brothels. Legalized prostitution is safer for women who…
Yeah but those protections tend not to work very well, and those laws are being reexamined.I think that a lot more countries will start doing the whole “criminalize paying for sex but keep selling sex legal” thing.
