A new law introduced in New York state would decriminalize all sex work, but it faces pushback from the NY National Organization of Women and others groups. The law follows in the wake of last year’s FOSTA SESTA, which has negatively impacted sex workers and online free speech advocates.

Democrats and Republicans both purchase sex?
I'm shocked! Shocked to find prostitution going on!
Sex is a privilege says the woman.
IM SEEKING MY OWN LAND. MY OWN PEOPLE… MY OWN WAY ..MY OWN LAW.
Billionaires can basically do what ever they like including directing the governments of their land and anybody else’s land in which their business might be located in order to increase their profit margin…even as far as directing one government to destabilise through sanctions , and armed incursions ..that is war…..So billionaires can do what ever they like and in the courts of law that not only will they avoid prosecution entirely or being found guilty of whatever crime receive a punishment way less in keeping in what such a crime would attract …a fine for example might seem significant but in the scheme of things just the cost of doing business and if a company is the property is before the court any fine can be offset against tax as a loss and equates to nothing and might actually result in a profit as many tax laws contain loopholes of twighlight zone proportions …so yes believe it, with money the world is an entirely different place to a world where someone has no money …and how one acquired that money is of no consequence really if it’s a huge amount but if your poor and have a sudden amount of money the law will come down hard on that person …the HSBC and Deutsche bank are the example …HSBC at one time had the drug cartels delivering bundles of prepackaged cash just large enough to fit into the security draw at the teller …found guilty of laundering drug money they were fined 800 million dollars no one went to jail and that fine has no doubt been negated in tax offset laws …2008 crash another example no one went to jail or held accountable in fact they were bailed out rather than the people who were impacted by this fraud and when people went to protest this injustice with a protest at walls street stoc exchange they received a rather brutal treatment …its in your history …yes Billionaires can do what ever they like including flights to certain islands where they can relax , think about that ….
Anytime a person attempts to break a law they can expect to be prosecuted and receive a punishment more so if you are a person of colour and it’s a rare and isolated case for a person of wealth to end up in the midst of a prison system as in the USA judged by humanitarians to be one of the most severe in the world …and those prisoners are being used as labour in prison based manufacturing even firefighters ..that’s slavery of course…as infinitum on that greed in a feeding frenzy the parallel being sharks close their eyes as they bite and savage a fact if nature and is eerily true that they do not see themselves as doing what they are doing , well a psychopath might , but that’s another associated issue
#LegalizeProstitution2020
I'm male and 55. I have never paid for sex ( except through marriage ) Why do men get arrested and get their names and pictures in the paper while the women involved get faces and names blocked ? ( this is the exact opposite of how we as a Nation deal with drug dealers ) Why?
…or we could just declare billionaire's as a new STD.
All these arguments can be applied to the drug 'industry' or to any other illegal industry. Billionaires can hire a killer, why can't you? Besides, we could tax killers and fill our budget. We could tax heroin or cocain sells. Billionaires can buy those, why can't you? And just think about all those cocain dealers who lose jobs because of law enforcement cracking down on their networks. Asking those who work in an illegal industry whether it should be legalised – isn't it the definition of insane? Of course they want it legalised, just as cocain dealers or killers want. Shall we legalise those industries too? Criticising everything Trump does isn't a logical thing to do. When thinking about legalising an activity you need to consider whether it is something that should be a part of your society or not, and not about the income of those who do illegal activities. Whether paid sex is normal is a subject to discuss, but not from the perspective of defending the rights of those who break the law as then we can legalise just about any illegal activity.
unless you’re a legislator in New York and you happen to be investigating the financial industry. Then you get the book thrown at you for crossing a state boundary with a prostitute. Thanks for exposing the other side of the argument. I’m not very convinced by the scandinavian model but don’t interact with the subject enough to form a useful opinion.
Billionaire exploits women for sex, so why can't we also exploit women for sex? Great logic.
Good interview. Better to hear from Sex Workers themselves.
Excellent interview/discussion. It's very intelligently conducted and interesting. I wish these people success in their struggle, say, for their human rights. I wouldn't go for sex with a sex worker, but that's my right and I'll respect theirs.
"We all know men like to pay for sex"
Wow, shameless generalizations are thrown at men that are over the top sexist.
These types with their selective moral outrage surely are not the ones ..
The English system of law on which the US law is closely based primarily was concerned, historically, with the protection of property. Even women were considered property at one point in time. If one respects women and women respect themselves, regardless of how much they could make, prostitution would be illegal and men would control their hormones.
They have money and I don't ?
legal in Germany, regulated
That's the least of what they get away with. You can buy any kind of justice you want for the right price.
I did not care for this guest, one of the few TRNN programs I found poorly done. She did not emphasize that "fight for $15" would keep many women off the streets. What about their kids? who watches them while she is "at work?" If a woman likes prostitution, that fine but needs to be a choice not an act of desperation.
Yes, re decriminalization but only if restrictions are applied: licensed prostitutes, disease tested & relegated to certain red light districts or whore houses. IF a "john" engages outside the legalities, he gets charged also. Female cops are the only ones delegated to patrol these districts.
To be honest, guest looks trashy & showed no compassion for women – what kind of an excuse is "everybody is short at the end of the month?" so buying shoes you can't afford makes it okay to whore? Even if your kids are left alone?
Even worse are the greedy high end call girls who are glamorized in the press by married presidents of US who paid off sex workers, Euphemistically called adult entertainers so why isn't this addressed? Or their best buddy Jeffery Epstein? One more reason to impeach Trump – Clinton has already be shamed publicly (good)
Great work.
Interesting how pimps and the culture of pimping didnt come up this entire talk.
"We all know men like to pay for sex"? What?! Is that a simple assertion of fact? Maybe I'm that one man you didn't know about that finds the idea very distasteful, but maybe not.
What an intro “ men like to pay for sex “
All labor under a capitalist system is inherently exploitative. I’m all for protecting sex workers and I’m in no way trying to shame/demonize them, but this is basically just asking for regulated exploitation. While regulations would protect those workers (WHICH IS A GOOD THING) I see this as just cementing, possibly even legitimizing patriarchal power imbalances. We need to work towards a system that eliminates conditions that push people towards “last resorts”, whatever that last resort may be. Basically, yes we must protect the vulnerable, but we must concurrently work towards eliminating the forces that create the conditions for vulnerability
No Leftist should desire to legalize sex work. Instead of decriminalizing prostitution, we should focus on eliminating the conditions that drive women (and others) to have to sell their bodies in order to make ends meet. A woman's body is not a commodity, women are human beings.
This push by Liberals and Progressives illustrates the fact that these people are not Leftists, but are something else … maybe Centrists, at best.
Anyone with a Class Analysis and an understanding of dialectical materialism will see that structural and economic problems drive desperate women into the sex business. If you want to criminalize anyone's behavior, we should seek to more heavily prosecute MEN who patronize prostitution.
