LMAO @ libfems and “progressives” praising Iceland for its gender equality while steadfastly defending the sex trade...
Could it be a coincidence that countries with the highest rates of gender equality see prostitution as a tool of patriarchy & violence against women? 🤔

Hmm, not one mention of abolitionism in this article. They probably didn’t want to set off the pro prostitution lobbyists 🤷🏾♀️

“Paying for sex is illegal in Iceland. It has been for decades. The difference, however, is in 2007 the government amended the law arguing that most people who turn to soliciting sex have no other option or were coerced by others.”

“The country also banned stripclubs in 2009 for feminist reasoning. The revised law states no business may profit from nudity of employees. The law passed with full support in parliament.”

“Then there is the fact that feminists in Iceland appear to be entirely united in opposition to prostitution, unlike the UK where heated debates rage over whether prostitution and lapdancing are empowering or degrading to women.”
“Then there is the fact that feminists in Iceland appear to be entirely united in opposition to prostitution, unlike the UK where heated debates rage over whether prostitution and lapdancing are empowering or degrading to women.”
“There is also public support: the ban on commercial sexual activity is not only supported by feminists but also much of the population.”
“A 2007 poll found that 82% of women and 57% of men support the criminalisation of paying for sex – either in brothels or lapdance clubs – and fewer than 10% of Icelanders were opposed.”
“Jónsdóttir says the ban could mean the death of the sex industry. "Last year we passed a law against the purchase of sex, recently introduced an action plan on trafficking of women, and now we have shut down the strip clubs.
The Nordic countries are leading the way on women's equality, recognising women as equal citizens rather than commodities for sale."”
