When Rhode Island accidentally legalized prostitution, rape and STDs decreased sharply

The real reason feminists oppose this is precisely because it would reduce rape. They don't want that. Feminists NEED rape... it's their bread and butter!

I am not for or against prostitution. I am for peoples personal choices to do what they want with their bodies. If that means that a man or woman wants to have sexual interaction with another man or women or men or women for money, then so be it. It is when the sexual interaction is not consensual, or forced, under aged or trafficked.

Relevant link talking about the brothel industry in Germany. It's a massive, efficient industry.

For decades, few people noticed that legislators in Providence had deleted crucial language from Rhode Island state law in 1980. It wasn't until a 2003 court case that police, to their chagrin, discovered they couldn't prevent prostitutes and their customers from engaging in commercial exchange. For the next six years until legislators ~~corrected~~ reinstated their error

FTFY article.

Decreased reported rapes and STDs - whether it impacted actual rates is unknown...

i don't have the study, but i have read that sexual assault numbers are significantly lower in countries with legalized prostitution.
there was an article in my metro's local paper about a prostitution ring arrest recently, they listed the names and ages of all the parties.
The paper interviewed a women from the local women's organization, and she stated that it was important to prosecute prostitution because of all the sex trafficking it causes. Here is the deal - all parties had typical western names, and I doubt any of them were trafficked into the area. SO NO SEX TRAFFICKING WAS TAKING PLACE. yet that was the logic used in the paper, and of course no one questions it.

I'm disturbed by seeing MRM ppl for prostitution. That's not what I'm about. Prostitution exploits women who hit rock bottom and have nowhere else to turn. Often, they were abused as children and groomed as young women.
