      I remember reading about the last changes to the prostitution laws in ireland, colour me surprised when it turned out that the most prominent NGO( Ruhama) fighting for that change was run by magdelin nuns. Not surprised that it hasn’t protected sex workers.

      People (pimps) that own Escort websites are also very active at funnelling money to groups that advocate for legalising prostitution. Legalising does not improve the lives of women who end up in it, there is research that it actually makes the Johns more demanding/aggressive/entitled as it’s a legal commercial service and the ‘customer is always right.’

      Wonderfully progressive Reddit so keen to reduce women to commodified glorified wank rags for men.

      Germany and the Netherlands have discovered that legal sex work is still largely populated with trafficked and/or exploited women.

      Sex work is real, but it’s always going to be ugly. I’m not sure Ireland is mature enough to confront that reality.

      It makes complete sense to me just like drug reform and taxation really does seem like a better attitude than the “drugs are bad, m’kay” crowd. It all should be about harm reduction and giving people as safe as possible means of accessing these vices whilst also giving people who perform these jobs adequate workers rights and safety at their workplace.

      Wasn’t criminalising the purchase of sex, rather than the selling of sex, considered progressive a mere 5 years ago.

      Prostitution is grimy, often nasty, and populated by plenty of criminal elements.

      It’s also not going away. No country on earth has managed to stamp it out.

      The entire approach should therefore be about harm reduction. Ensuring people in prostitution are there because they want to be (these people do exist!) and hunting down and punishing people traffickers and pimps.

      Anything else strikes me as tilting at windmills.
