S*x buyers often called “Johns” should be labeled with what they truly are, commercial s*xual offenders, and yes the way to combat womens and girls exploitation is to criminalize the demand for paid s*x. How can we have a fair and equal society if half of it, can always be asked if they’re for sale.
THE NORDIC MODEL LEGISLATION IS THE ONLY WAY TO END S*X TRAFFICKING
"The men wanted exactly what they saw in the p**n, even the way the women looked – very young, blonde, big fake b***s and no p***c hair. This was mainstream p**n, but the degradation and abuse of women is sickening. P**n is where many men get their s*x education and boys are now exposed to it on average from age 11.
S*x buyers, also called johns, are driving the s*x trade. The only way to stop s*x trafficking is to stop the demand for men buying s*x. Men do not need s*x; they will not die if they don’t have it. It is not a human right. There is an unhealthy preoccupation with s*x and s*xuality in our culture. S*x is not as important as we’re led to think.
The johns don’t care whether the woman is there by choice. They do not care if she is underage or trafficked; in fact, they probably prefer it because she is more vulnerable and he can get away with more.
There is a solution to this s*x trade, the Nordic Model, which has been in place in Sweden since 1999. The Nordic Model has been adopted in Norway, Iceland, Northern Ireland, Canada, France and, recently, in the Republic of Ireland. The legislation implemented in Sweden has had a huge cultural impact. There is more respect for women.
When the s*x trade is normalised it leads to a sense of s*xual entitlement in men; that women exist for their s*xual pleasure. Men relate to women as s*xual objects and not full human beings. S*xual entitlement is the root of r**e culture. When prostitution is legalised, a hostile and dangerous environment is created for every girl and woman in the community. If one group of women is up for sale, that is how all are viewed.
The Nordic Model, also known as The S*x Buyer Law, works by cutting the demand for prostitution by criminalising traffickers, pimps, brothel owners and s*x buyers. Under this law, women selling s*x is not against the law but buying s*x is. Profiting from the s*xual exploitation of women and children is a criminal act.
Before the Nordic Model was introduced in 1999, it was the woman who got a criminal record, which meant she could not go on to other employment. A criminal record makes it hard, if not impossible, to find a regular job and is one big reason women get trapped in the industry.
The Nordic Model clears criminal records for selling s*x so that women are able to move on with their lives. Women are provided support, education, rehabilitation, child care, and financial and housing assistance to get out of the industry. All the factors that drive women into prostitution are dealt with. It begins with a widespread public education campaign calling for a fairer society. A minimum income is guaranteed for all, the gender pay gap needs to be eliminated, as well as student fees and debts.
S*x buyers receive a fine – or in the most serious cases, jail time of up to a year – if caught buying s*x. They are provided with therapy and support for s*x addiction to prevent them returning to their old habits.
Since the Nordic Model was introduced, attitudes towards buying s*x have shifted rapidly in Sweden in a positive direction. The proportion of men buying women for s*x has been halved. It is now considered a very uncool thing to do and only absolute losers buy women for s*x."
