It’s conservative under a certain pov, or progressive for others.
From a femministic pov is a step forward. Sweden started in '99 to criminalize the sex customers and it’s been followed from the other Scandinavians and France.
On the other end we’ve countries like Germany, Switzerland, Nederland or Belgium which works in kinda opposite direction and allow sex workers to the point of being guaranteed social services.
In Sweden they believe that prostitution always happens due to an abuse of power. The prostitute is somehow always forced to sell sex. It’s kinda tricky point, it never convinced me 100%.
I believe more that people should be allowed to do what they want with their body, so if someone wants to sell sex, the only things to do is to offer some rules and makes it safe for everyone. It’s not surprisingly that countries who cares about safe worker’s safety also allow euthanasia.
So you mean Hamas? Cause it’s part of this mess we’re watching now.
