10. You've really outderped yourself.

Dec 2013

I'm strongly opposed to the new swedish law on prositition, because it curtails the sexual freedoms of men AND women.

The new law being discussed is the one with a minimum one year sentence for those who pay to rape children or trafficking victims. When you are objecting to the 'new law' you are objecting to a one-year sentence for those who pay to rape children and trafficking victims.

The only minimum sentence of 1 year being contemplated is for those who pay to rape children and trafficking victims. So, the punishment for rapists is exactly what you are objecting to.

The Swedish model of punishing buyers but not sellers is not a new law, it passed when Bill Clinton was President. So when you talk about objecting to the 'new law' that is not what you're objecting to.

The fact that you're describing Swedes as 'sexual fascists' is hilarious.

Yes, your concern about a law punishing men for buying the right to rape a trafficking victim was to make excuses for the men, so spare us the pious "I'm just concerned about protecting the workers" nonsense when you oppose efforts to put those who pay for raping trafficking victims in jail.
