Stop excluding sex workers from feminism. They want their trade decriminalized and it will happen.
They need to decriminalize sex workers. It's high time for sex workers, clients, and activists to get at their state legislators to decriminalize this business once and for all.
'Rest in Power' – I like that.
"Sex work is work".
Great. Now pay your taxes.
Prostitution should be fully legal and adhere to a public health standard.
Yay! Lori Glimmer!
Guys it’s still illegal. Like marijuana, let’s fight for it to be legal THEN human rights.
Sex. What a thing to die for.
Is sex work not legal in America?
Why?
Disgusting.
I spy me at 3:33
Wow. Just…wow…
sex workers don't have rights
I guess sex work must be better than working at Walmart?!🤔🤷♂️
Prostitution fills a need in our society. Puritanical "sin" indoctrination is ridiculous in this century. Sex is a normal function denied to many for various reasons: Veteran amputees, accident victims, birth defects, shyness, illness of partner, elderly, dying, loneliness…
IF prostitution was legalized nationally, taxed, taken off the streets, government licensed & protected, with strict health checkups, etc Needs to be run like any other agency with records, credit cards & ID. All employees must be 18 & over with an SSI card & picture ID. (similar to Holland but more discreet & tasteful)
Anyone hosting sex parties hooking up strangers need to be licensed & pay taxes.
Safety & dignity & privacy under the law.
Until prostitution is made legal, all pimps, prostitutes & johns should be arrested & prosecuted equally not just the prostitute! When the poor have sex for money, they are called dumb whores & face jail time. When our president pays a porn star, it's called a scandal – if the law is blind they should both be in jail. When rich guys go to a party to screw, the host should be arrested as a pimp.
In this mornings newspaper there is a picture of a woman flanked by two police officers umbrellas held aloft. It is raining a light mist.
The cops and the woman are smiling and at one with eachother. The woman is Dame Catherine Healy national coordinator of the New Zealand Prostitues Collective. One of the cops, Sue Schwalger is of a senior rank as district commander. The male cop , also a District Commander, is Sam Hoyle. The NZ Police and the NZ Prostitutes collective have been working together to produce printed information in a guide to help sex industry workers navigate the aftermath of a sexual assault. Commander Hoyle is quoted as saying, "sex workers had the same rights as everybody else to be safe at work." Without a legalized sex industry this initiative would not have been possibe.
Prostitution ha been a legal business activity since 2003. Even before that time the country had a reasonable and easy going attitute towards prostitution with convictions being rare.
Note: A Dame, the salutation mentioned above, is an honour bestowed on Women by the Queen. The male equivilant is Sir. Any citizen of a country belonging to The (British) Commonwealth) of nations is elegable to be recommended for this honour, but must have worked unselfishly for the good of their country and its people.
What is wrong with the Nordic model? I'm sorry I find much of your ideology reprehensible. You didn't talk about the problem of trafficking. How is your little kum by yah meeting deal with that? The Nordic model has shifted culture in places where it has been adopted and enforced. Boys will be boys culture has changed. Young males in the Nordic countries look down on their peers who go to the brothels in Germany. Much like seat belt laws have changed life here, making life better for first responders, jailing traffickers and johns makes life better for at least half of human beings.
There's a lot of people in general that love sex work without having a trauma including men
Its the truth..
They are hookers so just call them them hookers and do not be shy!.
I like the idea a person can sell sex, but I don't like all this Trans stuff it's a different issue.
