Hey, Lisi, where’s your surname?

Only because the alternative is Trump, who isn’t any better. *sigh*

Some years all the major party candidates have the same position on an issue and it’s a bad position.

And criticising you for “not having a surname” is like that time the DA here said only trafficking victims cover their faces in ads. Because the world is just so kind to sex workers, right?! Can’t lose housing, children, or lives for sex work! Safety concerns are for the pimp lobby!

Also sex workers most certainly are being arrested under end demand, I don’t know what kind of wilfully blind you need to be to assert otherwise.
Lisi just came here to bitch about sex work–if she really had a problem with screenshot and response articles the Internet would have given her an aneurysm by now, more’s the pity for us it hasn’t.

Hi Lisi,
I’m not sure why you said “not one woman has been killed in Sweden since the introduction of the Nordic Model”. That seems implausible at best. If you meant that not one sex worker has been killed in Sweden since the Nordic Model’s introduction then, sadly, that’s also incorrect.
Kindly, Josephine

Josephine states, “The report, of course, is significant in that it validates what sex workers have been saying for decades (stop arresting us!)”

If Josephine had bothered to do any research, she would know that sex workers are NOT arrested under the Nordic Model. In fact, they can sell sex anywhere they like: beside a school or at the front of a church. The Nordic Model addresses the imbalance of power in prostitution by criminalising the johns; not the women who sell sex.

France was the most recent county to adopt the Nordic Model. The government will provide money each year for housing assistance, education and training, and counselling for women wanting to exit. Not one woman has been killed in Sweden since the introduction of the Nordic Model. In Germany, which has decriminalisation, so many prostitutes are murdered by johns that some are not able to be identified. Brothels have menus where men can choose whether they want a gang bang, to torture a woman, anal sex without a condom. Pregnant women are in such high demand by johns with fetishes that women are impregnated, sold for gang bangs, and the babies are then aborted or adopted out.

The Netherlands thought that decriminalisation would end the stigma of prostitution. Another fail. The red light districts have been taken over by criminal gangs who traffic women from third world countries. These women are then held in debt bondage, often unable to leave the premises and forced to service up to 20 men a day.

Nevada as legalised prostitution. Another fail. The only people that decriminalisation and legalisation help are the brothel owners and pimps. Dennis Hof is a good example.
