as it should be milk is awful even tho i still partake
Tbh I don't really take it much either but people have told me almond/oat milk is a better alternative so I'll think on that
You're acting like prostitution wouldn't lead to any sort of violence and abuse that brothels already have WHICH are regulated
so by this logic:
because there appears to be a failure of proper regulation of brothels in Nevada -
that means that the whole idea should be trashed?
So continuing this logic: Any time a new idea is presented, if it fails once then it should be trashed forever?
I just wanna know your reasoning why prostitution should be illegal
Tbh I don't really take it much either but people have told me almond/oat milk is a better alternative so I'll think on that
those are fine yea
I do id never insult an OF girl just like i try not to disrespect any human i meet
as I said before, if a telemarketer calls me, I tell em to f*** off
if an OF chick tries to sell to me, I tell her to f*** off
ok but why do you think prostitution shouldn't be legal
1. It's dangerous for the s***workers.
One study of prostituted women in San Francisco massage parlors found that 62% had been beaten by customers. (HIV Risk among Asian Women Working at Massage Parlors in San Francisco: pp. 248)
Interviews with prostituted individuals in New Zealand reveal that a majority of prostituted people in the country did not feel as if decriminalization had curbed the violence they experience, demonstrating that prostitution is inherently violent and abusive. (Report of the Prostitution Law Review Committee: pp. 14)
An investigation of the commercial s***industry in eight American cities found that 36% of prostituted people reported that their buyers were abusive or violent. (Estimating the Size and Structure of the Underground Commercial S***Economy in Eight Major US Cities: pp. 242)
The “workplace” homicide rate among prostituted women in Colorado is seven times higher than what it was in the most dangerous occupation for men in the 1980s (taxi driver). (Mortality in a Long-term Open Cohort of Prostitute Women: pp. 783)
2. Prostitution and human trafficking are forms of gender-based violence.
Most persons in prostitution are either female or transgender women. (Estimating the Size and Structure of the Underground Commercial S***Economy in Eight Major US Cities: pp. 219 and The Impact of the Prostitution Reform Act on the Health and Safety practices of S***Workers: pp. 61)
In contrast, the vast majority of s***buyers are male. (Executive Summary of the Preliminary Findings for Team Grant Project 4 – Sex, Safety and Security: A Study of Experiences of People Who Pay for S***in Canada: pp. 3)
Prostituted persons are mostly women and face exceptional risks of murder (pp. 784) and violence at the hands of male s***buyers (pp. 248), signifying that the practice is on the continuum of gender-based violence. This remains true even in areas where prostitution is legal or decriminalized. (pp. 14)
3. Legalizing or decriminalizing prostitution has not decreased the prevalence of illegal prostitution.
An investigation commissioned by the European Parliament found that in countries with legal prostitution, such as Austria, “the effect of regulation can be a massive increase in migrant prostitution and an indirect support to the spreading of the illegal market in the s***industry.” (National Legislation on Prostitution and the Trafficking in Women and Children: pp. 132)
Denmark decriminalized prostitution in 1999, and the government’s own estimates show that the prevalence increased substantially over the decade that followed. (Prostitutionens omfang og former 2012/2013: pp. 7)
Interviews with prostituted persons in the Netherlands reported that “legalization entices foreign women to come to the Netherlands, causing an increase in prostitution.” (Prostitution in the Netherlands since the lifting on the brothel ban: pp. 38)
4. Legalization or decriminalization increases human trafficking.
One study with data from 150 countries found that those with “legalized prostitution experience a larger reported incidence of trafficking inflows.” (Does Legalized Prostitution Increase Human Trafficking?: pp. 76)
Another quantitative a***ysis similarly reported that s***trafficking is “most prevalent in countries where prostitution is legalized.” (The Law and Economics of International S***Slavery: Prostitution Laws and Trafficking for Sexual Exploitation: pp. 87)
Regulated prostitution increases the size of the overall market for commercial sex, which benefits criminal enterprises that profit from s***trafficking. (Does Legalized Prostitution Increase Human Trafficking?: pp. 67 and National Legislation on Prostitution and the Trafficking in Women and Children: pp. 132)
You're acting like this is a common thing though
Prostitution is already legal in Vegas, and look at how much the brothels there have problems:
the licensing requirements create a permanent record which can lead to discrimination later on;
the large power difference between brothel owner and prostitute gives prostitutes very little influence over their working conditions;
while prostitutes undergo legal and health background checks, their customers do not; the regulations are thus designed to protect customers, not prostitutes.
@everyone who's quoting me
legalisation isn't gonna solve all of the problem but its much better than be unregulated mess, you rather be a hooker in Vegas under a legal brothel or a hooker under some random pimp. Also all this means it should be better regulated not illegal.
