(6,199 posts)Countries like Germany, where trafficking dropped after legalization? New Zealand, which saw no rise? Queensland (one day, you really need to read this study)? Oh dear, you'd know all this stuff if you'd bothered to read the links people gave you in the last thread. You remember, the links you didn't want to read? Facts can sure fuck with a narrative, can't they?
Abused, exploited and trafficked people are my big concern. The difference between us is that I don't advocate for 1) diverting resources AWAY from those people to jail consenting adults or 2) jailing the consenting adults who had nothing to do with it or 3) forcing the entire business into a very dangerous underground where it's easier to hide trafficking and deadly for the consenting adults.
Do you have some evidence that the rest of us aren't privy to showing that the woman in the OP was underage, not consenting, was trafficked in some way, or was abused by anyone but the police? Yet here's you, upthread, snarking at those of us who dare to think she might have been a consenting adult and shouldn't, as a consenting adult, have had to fear arrest. This does not impress me with your "concern". It DOES, however, totally contradict your supposed support for the (failing) Swedish model. Care to play again?
Incidentally, this was not a "trade sex for food". It amazes me how many people in this thread failed to read anything but the misleading headline, yet still managed to have an opinion on it.
