Okay, but now we all need shirts saying "I'mma non-profit whoreganization" and/or "support your local non-profits".
I thought about spewing some bull-shit about expecting money, versus expecting free meals, versus expecting sex or nudes or whatever, but lets be real, none of us gets an excuse for any of it.
Honestly from the comments I’ve been reading and seeing first hand how society stigmatises and judges sex workers, it does honestly make me feel completely hopeless about the world esp as sex workers are often never seen as human in general, despite what other people would put up with mistreatment, coercion sending nudes, yet shame ppl that do this work for a living, which is just so fucked up and so backwards. Sex workers should be treated with dignity and respected. Not the other way around. They are just trying to earn a living, like most of us are.
Imagine if seeing a sex worker wasn't negatively stigmatised. It would help a lot of people blow off steam I a safe healthy environment. Less aggression, less crimes etc
Does it though? There are plenty of countries with legal prostitution and I've never seen any statistics about illegal prostitution being on the rise there.
It's one of those claims both sides could make and actually believe in. There might even be data for both sides, given enough cherry-picking that is.
It's been matter of fact for over a decade LINK, they looked at large scale trends in 150 countries and they controlled for variables such as higher rates of finding criminals by examining the supplier countries as well as the countries that legalize prostitution and found increases across the board.
Legal prostitution leads to increased human trafficking.
If a side claims that science is wrong then it's not the side you want to be on.
I think you’re confusing with sex trafficking with sex work/prostitution, which are completely two different things mind you. Ones non consensual and had coercive control, whilst the other is consensual and has full body autonomy.
Studies and research and numbers, measured many times over a hundred years and more all the time, shows that when legal prostitution is allowed then you also see a rise in the number of victims of kidnapping and being forced into sex work, victims of rape for profit. An increase of slavery and abuse of innocent children.
Is this new statement clear enough for you to understand my words?
The idea of legal prostitution is attractive, always will be as a flaw in our brains, but it simply is not worth the unintended consequences. And you should also be wary than many of its advocates are men of power who smell profits to be made.
