To anyone out there looking to learn about the German model of #prostitution legalisation - there are a lot of different things to consider (e.g. we are now more regulated than New Zealand but for a long time we were veeery similar) - but a good thing to look at is always: Johns.
It's very simple: German sex buyers do not generally fear any consequences or prosecution for paying to access women under pimp control or dirt poor or mentally/physically handicapped or high on drugs. They do not generally fear consequences when committing violence and rape.
All you need to know about men who pay for #prostitution under German #legalisation, how they thinks and talk about women and what they feel they can do to them without consequence: dieunsichtbarenmaenner.wordpress.com/menu/
Sharing a link to this website got me blocked by an anti rape advocate. I cannot believe any anti violence campaigner that doesnt engage with prostitution from the perspective of the men who pay. You're not doing your feminist duty if you put your head in the sand about this.
You may still favour a deregulated sex trade with no state interventions but know that you're then asking women to deal with these men mostly on their own. If you truly believe this is the best path then you have to know what you're asking women to be up against.
Pro prostitution organisations like TAMPEP in Italy, Madonna in Germany and the NZPC in New Zealand are all allowed to say that sex buyers are a threat to women in prostitution and advise them on self defense. But the moment I call johns a threat, I'm the literal devil. Fuck that
