    there are harmful rapist murderer men who literally tortured children with their own two hands in those files, yet we’re here spending time calling JRK a pedo cause… checks notes … a publicist for the play (not JKR) sent a generic invite to Epstein for a play that was inspired by Harry Potter.

    we get you don’t like her. focus on the truth, stop spreading disinformation.


  • Figures provided by National Ugly Mugs, a service which allows sex workers to confidentially report incidents of abuse and crime, showed that reports of abuse and crime against prostitutes greatly increased after Ireland’s adoption of the Nordic model approach to prostitution by criminalizing the purchase of sexual services. The figures stated that crimes against prostitutes increased by 90%, with violent crime increasing by 92%.

    It is now illegal to be a prostitution-buyer or pimp in Ireland, so of course the number of reported crimes went up. Declaring failure because of more reports is like saying “MeToo” caused more rapes. No - we’re just hearing about what’s always been there, now that it’s safer to talk about it.

    I hope the pimps that keep women hidden in servitude on the black market face huge consequences for their unethical actions.

    unfortunately I don’t have time to read the first two links and properly respond (they’re long pdfs), but thanks for providing them.



  • I am for the civilized approach of the Nordic Model.

    What is the Nordic Model?

    The Nordic Model (sometimes known as the Sex Buyer Law, and the Swedish, Abolitionist, Survivor or Equality Model) is an approach to prostitution that has been adopted in Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Northern Ireland, Canada, France, Ireland and Israel. It has several elements:

    1. Decriminalisation of selling sex acts

    Prostitution is inherently violent. Women should not be criminalised for the exploitation and abuse they endure.

    2. Buying sex acts becomes a criminal offence

    Buying human beings for sex is harmful, exploitative and can never be safe. We need to reduce the demand that drives sex trafficking.

    3. Support and exit services

    High quality, non-judgemental services to support those in prostitution and help them build a new life outside it, including: access to safe affordable housing; training and further education; child care; legal, debt and benefit advice; emotional and psychological support.

    A holistic approach

    A public information campaign; training for police and CPS; tackling the inequality and poverty that drive people into prostitution; effective laws against pimping and sex trafficking, with penalties that reflect the enormous damage they cause. Read more >>

    disclainer: LGB people are not a monolith, so I cant speak for them all. However, some folks are concerned that society is “transing the gay away”: encouraging transition as a way out of facing homophobia, instead of fighting homophobia itself. For example, many conservatives are okay with any relationship that looks straight, and see transitioning as a way to conform to hetero-normativity (notable example: Blaire White). There are some gay activists who want to ‘change the narrative’ on this form of transition in order to fight homophobia and encourage gay acceptance instead.




  • you have been very respectful, and i mean this with respect as well: do you think it is possible that there is a scientific answer to this, and perhaps you don’t know enough to confirm or deny it?

    this is really only a debate when it comes to humans, because it is not emotionally charged at all when we speak of the sex of a dog for example. it is reasonable to say that approximately half of dogs produce sperm, and those are the males. the other half produce eggs and are females.

    there isn’t really a debate there, no one claims that “dogs with long hair are female” or anything stupid like that…

    in every animal, sex is determined by what gamete their body is set up to produce. this is just what the scientific method has shown, really. i say this with no hate or love in my heart either way. if science is able to show otherwise, then i shall follow it there. it is not my opinion, and it is not what i want to be true. it is just an observable thing
