(6,342 posts)Im not really going to get into it much here since we're derailing the OP's topic. But sex workers, and even independent studies, have a very different opinion of the Nordic model compared to what feminists and governments are saying. There is doubt the Nordic model can work very well outside Sweden because Sweden has many other laws concerning gender equality issues that are playing into it. Norway hasn't seen the success with this law that Sweden has seen because of the cultural difference. Prostitution is rampant in Oslo and some say the police are still looking the other way.
In most western countries, it is already illegal for men to buy sex and police can't control it. You really want to dedicate more manpower and resources to police to bust down doors of consenting adults having sex? I mean, that's fucking stupid, especially with so many other problems.
