Advocates of the Nordic Model simply don't give a shit. If a woman or man can't find some other means of earning a living They Had It Coming. More likely, it will leave sex workers more vulnerable because now Demand is more powerful than Supply.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

It's very dangerous. If you want to outlaw one part, outlaw the selling.

I'm telling you, this plan will totally work. Honestly. Let's expand the concept and outlaw buying drugs but decriminalize manufacture and sale.

New Kereptica: Since power is changed energy over time, an increase in power would mean, in this case, an increase in energy. As energy is equivalent to mass and the density of the government is static, the volume of the government must increase.

Why that? That would mean you aren't allowed bodily sovereignty in this case anymore, and there should be a good reason for that. Also, it's just as impractical to enforce...

Yes but when saying one thing it's another that is meant.

Patriarchy? Patriarchy theory.
Sexism? Something only men can do.
Nordic Model? No, not that one. We mean the one about prostitution.

First, demand to get rid of the term "Crack Whore." Obviously a patriarchal term demeaning women even amongst addicts.

But they are attempting to force them to not pay for sex. By making the act of paying for sex illegal.

Trying. Not forcing. Seducting people into crime is criminal.

No, it will more likely lead to sex workers being put at a disadvantage since they'll be more likely to meet the demands of clients in order to get business. Like increases in the spread of VD because of Bareback or Bust.

In other words, shifting bargaining power away from the sex worker and over to the client.

Why?
Criticism of PIV is not being PIV-negative, it's just about thinking that PIV shouldn't be the default sex.
Criticism of PIV is criticism of heteronormativity.

It's not against PIV

Can I still have PIV if I want to?
Of course! It’s a free country. Not all women hate PIV; some don’t mind it; some even enjoy it. Most women who enjoy it enjoy clitoris stimulation more. But everyone’s an individual and we all get pleasure in different ways.

PIV will always be the norm though, because it's how humans reproduce.
It's just me against the world.

Fuck No, I'm not taking your bullshit!

You're wrong! Suck it up!

Hell no

Just no...no!

Fuck No!

I'm not hearing this Chessmistress, I will not go into thirty pages of having to debate this.

The Club of Chessmistress Defeats is already to crowded as is, and they already ran out of pigs in a blanket.

No rational human being can argue against PIV, if you do you're not rational.

This is one of the central building blocks of reproduction, instinct, etc.

You can't even allude to rape as it is by definition, because thats a no brainier.

Its like you all think women are these brainless morons who can't think for themselves, and can't possibly believe that what they want, is of their own desires.

No, its all on the fucking patiraitcilluminati lizard men.

What the fuck do you even mean by hertronormative anyways?

What, you want a straight couple to do some weird scissor thing when not aiming to make a baby...or is childbirth oppression too?

God dammit Chess...this is the exact reason I am not a Feminist, because they let you're kind of people run wild, speak at the UN...or write numerous articles talking about how a poor millionaire feminist is oppressed, more than that stupid cishet homeless man about to hang himself.

I hate Progressives, I hate feminist, they push reasonable people way from actual Liberalism and Egalitarianism, and the last thing I want to see in this world is a rise in the social right.

At least in the good ole US of A.

*Having PIV is the only way to get pregnant. Not true. Sperm can swim up the vagina from the outside. Pregnancy is often caused this way.

What? I have never heard of this.
