actually Sweden has a decent job equality, I have seen women doing work that is considered men's work elsewhere- we are talking low level, unskilled work here not computer science
- DoreenMichele 5y agoThen I imagine it doesn't pay as much as prostitution. So it's not really a rebuttal to my point.
- 2rsf 5y agoI don't know how much prostitutes earn in Sweden but low skilled employees earn a very decent salary that includes pension, the state covers health and education. You can actually have a decent life by being a McDonald's worker ( obviously there are exceptions)
- DoreenMichele 5y agoLook, I don't understand why you are arguing in this way. This is not a rebuttal to my point. Whatever else is going on in Sweden, prostitution exists there as well and criminalizing it is not stamping it out and is not a means to address the concern some people have that "Women who become prostitutes without being trafficked do so because they are desperately poor, so they still aren't truly there voluntarily." I'm not saying that "Good paying jobs will stamp out prostitution." I have no goal of stamping out prostitution. I'm saying that criminalizing prostitution gives desperately poor women no remedy for the poverty that forces some of them into prostitution. It just closes another door and makes their life harder, not better.
- 2rsf 5y agoJust a healthy discussion, no arguing The swedish answer is simple- because they don't see prostitution as legitimate, criminalization or not
- DoreenMichele 5y agoThat also doesn't address my point.
