(110,159 posts)privileged. i do not generally get into this discussion. this thread was more pathetically funny than serious. then it became more serious. i should have walked. been down this road too may times. people that appear interested are more interested in ignoring the facts to hold onto their own agenda.
the countries that legalized all have a huge issue with child sex slaves and women sex slaves. it escalated the situation. because it is legal, the cops have a very hard time getting to the criminals. and it has not made the womens lives easier. they still have their pimps and still are abused. if you think that makes it easier for women to go to the cops, you obviously are clueless to the dynamics of these relationships. the women are always in the subservient role.
but lets just say there are some women thrilled with their choice. fine. i do not care. we all have free choice. it is not about them that i have an iota of concern. it is about the millions of children, and women that are desperate, or are forced into the role that i am concerned about.
sweden legalized. they had a horrible escalation in child and women sex slaves. all the countries that legalized did. early 2000 sweden changed it to prostiution is legal, so prostitutes are not hassled, can get care and go to police, and jons and pimps are arrested.
that brought the sex crimes more in control
prostitution dropped 47%
so, if we are going to discuss the legalization, then i ask people at least know what they are talking about.
the other countries are looking toward sweden. some have adopted their stance. others are looking to do the same.
we say legalize as if it will make things all better. history shows us it does not. it even makes things worse.
so hearing you say that you think the majority of prostitutes are in a bad position, desperate yet ignore them for the few, and then say legalize, when clearly you do not research what legalization has accomplished, then ya... i have to wonder.
you seem awfully familiar.
