Shocking. The situation is even worst than originally thought. Sad

Sweden reduced prostitution by a whopping 70% so why doesn't the world follow Sweden's lead and just charge the johns with rape and rescue the women?

Sure, they're all just students doing their Masters' degrees who happen to like having sex and getting paid for it. They like the sexual power that they have over men, so the johns are the ones who are really being exploited.

And they'll all go on to marry Richard Gere anyway.

I don't see what the fuss is about.

Given that this particular lower-than-the-dangly-bits-of-a-sausage-dog specimen has just posted his shit on the blog post of someone who was trafficked from Nigeria and repeatedly sexually abused, any time that puff of smoke wants to turn up is fine by me.

What Sad

They try to give of a good impression by talking about protecting sex workers blah blah but then they do things like that. They hate women so it's impossible for them not to show their true colours.

I don't get why people think that being sensitive to the porblems and horrors of the issue, should mean tolerating bad science and made up pseudo-statistics.

The report was about an off-hand statement by a politician using the term "99%" in the sense of "most", with no evidence or stated basis whatsoever, about a specific prostitution scene in one area. It was that turned into the title for this thread in a way that makes it look like it's a statement of fact not just about that area, but about prostitution in general.

People need to understand that idiotic or cynical misuse of pretend statistics like this WEAKENS the fight against social ills, rather than strengthening it. It makes it look like those supporting that fight are idiots or just inventing a complaint that has no basis in reality. That actually makes it much easier to dismiss the issue itself.

Personally, I think human trafficking is one of the most despicable things that exists, and I'm dismayed that it does still exist in the modern western world. I don't need made up "statistics" that can very quickly be shown to be total BS to believe that, and I can't see how they help.

Fast, this thread was started by a goady fucker who probably knew full well that was a "politician" statistic.
