Legal prostitution doesn't work

Submitted by Shelly (not verified) on 11 September 2007 - 5:41pm.
If you don't get the difference between hamburgers and humans, you may need to take a little time out and think about it. Any time you are selling women for sex to men, you will be dealing with crime and violence. No matter how much you try to regulate it, the transaction is inherently about a power imbalance. Those of you who think you are "empowering" yourselves by selling time in your vagina are just kidding yourselves. You are being used. Period. Amsterdam and Germany are getting rid of LEGAL prostitution because it INCREASES trafficking. Wherever prostitution is legal, the illegal trade shows up to undercut the prices and offer the extras (condom-free sex, children, etc.) Buying and selling people is wrong. Johns and pimps should go to jail until they figure that out. I will be very surprised if this comment gets posted. ShellyB
