Eleanor Gaetan has summarised in heroic form all the reasons that sex trafficking should not be countenanced, much less legalised, with two excellent but divergent examples: the Netherlands where it is legal, and Sweden where it is not. Years of data now prove the harms of legalisation, and reveal the contraindications: everything from desperately low esteem and suicidal ideation, to forced abortions and addictions, to the prevalence of spiritual and psychological trauma comparable to PTSD. The correlation between sexual child abuse and “sex work” [hideous term] is staggering, as the author explains the grooming process, emotionally speaking.
What is most damaging about the current trend to ignore the positive outcome of the Swedish model is that there is another agenda at play. It is not to actually diminish abuse and coercion wherever it is found (that’s obvious in relation to human trafficking) but to promote a laissez-faire attitude to sexual license — even if women and children are hurt. To this end, Dr Gaetan explains why Amnesty International has shredded its integrity (already in tatters because of its pro-abortion stance) to priorities sexual license (promarily for man) at the cost of their victims. The new “Do Not Judge” mantra is mandated to categorise brothels as no different from any other small business, as though selling human flesh is on the level of gum and cigarettes.
These soulless overseers recognise that to acknowledge even in the smallest way that some sexual commerce may be harmful (rather than a morally neutral source of income) is to begin to salting the weariness of rutting with common sense — a feature of rational persons who realise that they are special in the kingdom. Qui bono? Men, pimps, organised crime bosses, and YKW. Tragic. And we can never do enough to push back on this hideous view of humankind.
