This law doesn't required to know that the girl has been coerced into prostitution, with the definition of coerced being fairly broad. This means that there is no real way to pay for sex in the UK now without risking arrest, as it is impossible to know if you are breaking the law when doing so.

This law is a stealth law. Harriet Harmen and other feminist elements in the government were unable to outright ban buying sex because doing so did not have wide public support. This law, therefore, was a stealthy way of almost achieving the same thing.

They used the trafficing angle to get this law passed. It is worth noting that sex trafficing to the UK has been blown out of all proportion. If a woman comes to the UK to be part of the sex industry, this fits the UK governments definition of being trafficed, and is another tally in the count of women 'trafficed' to the UK.

The truth that some people cannot see is that being a prostitute in the UK can, financially speaking, be a very good choice for many eastern European women. Some people just refuse to accept that women enter this profession out of choice. The fact is that prostitution is usually driven by economics rather than violence and intimidation.

The only reasons feminists in the UK government wish to ban prostitution in the UK are these:

Another way to criminalize law abiding men
Further criminalization of male sexuality
Increasing women's power by removing cheap sex from the market. For women sex has always been a huge bargaining chip. This bargaining power is reduced if men can get sex for £60 rather than jump through some women's hoops.

Question: Why are the UK and the Scandinavian countries so feminist?

Ceterum autem censeo, Britannia esse delendam.
