This approach is women-positive, not sex-negative. Here's an account of the awful reality of when prostitution is fully legalised: https://www.adoptnordicwa.org

  >adoptnordic The nordic approach is a failure. Prostitutes are still marginalized, they're still stalked by police, and they still have to employ a great deal of subterfuge to make ends meet.

      I'm commenting on their whole shtick. I did skim the article, and there are some bad anecdotes in there. But I don't generally put a lot of credence into a site that's designed to only offer one side of an argument. And I fail to see how the claim that things are bad in legal brothels is supposed to imply that illegal brothels would somehow be a better situation. There are other solutions to that problem. And the real problem will always be human trafficking, which is better addressed at the source, not the destination. Because the market will always be there, that's just harsh reality, and I don't like it either, but that doesn't justify covering my ears and pretending it's gonna change. That is only apt to lead to bad policy.

  While I do agree the conditions described on that article are deplorable, I think the same kind of conditions would apply (if not worse) if prostitution was criminalized. Making it illegal won't stop it from happening.
