Why does Belle Knox consider herself a feminist?

159. No, I didn't ask you if it was just as bad.

And no, what I am proposing limits the market for trafficked women and children.

You seem to think that having them trafficked to where buying sex is legal is somehow better for them.

So you create the market, then say that since the market you're supporting has created the demand for such slaves, you're just going to hope that they can get help in the country where it's legalized.

How it makes more sense to you to engage in that wishful thinking, rather than to observe that reducing demand actually does help by reducing the market for prostituted women and children.


Women and children are not drugs. That analogy makes no sense. You aren't talking about treating addicts. You're talking about creating a market which is attractive to human traffickers. Dressing it up as being akin to 'helping addicts' is offensive.

At the end of the day, the outcome is likely to be better for the women and children who are trafficked to meet the rising demand created by legal prostitution if those markets are not created in the first place.
