  1. I’m for this but would you quit calling this work and a trade. I get up at 6am and work as a carpenter, I have a trade. You insult me when you put whoring on the same level.

  2. Decriminalize sex work and sex workers, but imprison the Johns … because men = bad.

    Edit: I wonder how much sex work will be for the business without clients. Aah… one solution is to be a legal sex worker but with government assistance because all your clients are imprisoned. So just a woman with a fictitious disadvantage getting free money. Who needs alimony!! You go gurl. You’re oppressed

  3. Great video content as usual. I don’t agree with the ideal that sex workers and black people have the same experience. I believe that intersectionality has only helped non- black people. Black people have always speared the fight for justice in America while being left out and made a contingent of wealth. So let’s not bastardize the civil rights act again for sex workers. Especially when most civil rights legislation was fought for by black Americans. How about we work to make those rights a reality for the builders of this great nation!! #ADOS!!

  4. As for sex workers, prostitutes, how ever you wish to call them, I won't act against them in any way. I don't personally want their "services", but they'll have all of my due respect. Don't like that work, because, imo, it's a dangerous "job", but I can't decide for these people and will just respect them.

  5. Anyone who uses emojis to discuss serious political issues just seem like they don't know shit. Also decriminalize sex work.

  6. Casinos legal almost everywhere, pot easy to buy……do you know why? Because the elitists run the world and they want to control all the addictive elements, which in turn makes them more money, faster.

  7. There are many pluses to decriminalization of Sex Work. Regular doctor check ups to make sure they will not transmit sexual transmitted diseases. Have them pay taxes. Use police resources elsewhere. It is highly unlikely that people who never have used this type of service before will start using it just because it is decriminalized.

  8. When you buy sex, it may lead you to the mantality that a vagina is a product. That can lead to the point in which people looks at a person as a product. So that can lead to rapist thinking they just stole something, a product. Not raped a person.

    Paying for something that is free never ever made sense to me.

  9. Where is Anonymous in all this? Hackers should stand in solidarity with sex workers and set up some kind of open-source decentralized "backpage" that can't be tracked or taken down.

  10. If women weren't treated as 2nd class citizens, the sex industry would be miniscule. When you're clientele is exclusively entitled, chauvinistic assholes, the call for legitimisation rings a little hollow. Protect the workers, arrest the John's.

  11. Sex work isn't work, it's rape! They tried to unionise sex workers in Germany and it failed miserably. The New Zealand model of sex work is also a horrible example to move towards. Rachel Moran's book is the first place to start on educating the left on this issue. Prostitution = Neoliberalism on steroids.

  12. The overarching issue of sex work isn't a simple one, but regardless of one's stance, the safety and agency of sex workers shouldn't be debatable, and an end to its illegal status moves us in that direction.

  13. white men do not women to have money/power/control. as always its all about power. Men want women dependent on men. that's what child support is really about. Dah.

  14. How come nobody ever asks The following question: if our human needs were met such as, food, water, housing, clothing, and all the rest that make life worth living, were readily available free of charge, would they still do sex work? It would seem to me that the answer would be, no. In the meantime, I support your movement for sex workers safety.

  15. Sex work is demeaning to both buyer and seller.
    It involves sex and power in a way that is not socially or psychologically healthy.
    But making it illegal puts sex workers outside legal and medical protection, which is wrong.

  16. how many are professing Christians??? if so, they need to check the instructions of the heavenly Father in His Word in the Bible, and read what He has spoken. realizing there can be weak moments in life. if you are married and enjoy intimacy with you mate, no need to worry, you are not paying for it😁

  17. It says two comments but there is none! B S control! Controlling a rational process of two sides allowing truth to rise! What a sick mess of self denial to get your own selfish agenda that will continue to degrade what our country SHOULD STAND FOR THAT Made this country what YOU CAME HERE FOR; BUT YOU WANT IT TO CHANGE! OXIMORON WHICH MEANS YOUR A MORON IN YOUR THINKING!!

  18. Its Ok Corp Gov Want there Cut Thats Better Money Then Locking Up everybody now it can be regulated and health regulations can be there anybody with a serious problem can be identified anybody with a serious problem can be identified it's a win win for corporate governmentit's just like drugs should've never been made illegal that's what put the money in Everything
