American politics are very different from Canadian politics. What is more the US does not have a true left-wing party. The Democrats are more centre-right while the Republicans are right-wing. The feminists are out to protect womens rights. You know that feminists can be convinced. Feminists are quiet divided on this issue. Some do believe in the decriminalization of prostitution as it protects the sex workers safety and rights. As per your example that has nothing to do with prostitution. They are protecting women from predator males just out to have sex. Come on Hungry101 you know better then that. One last thing in Canada never forget that it was Harpers Conservatives that made prostitution illegal for the first time in Canadian history. No true right-wing conservative can ever be convinced to legalize prostitution. They are driven by ideology, social conservatism, and The Bible.

The prostitution abolition movements in both the U.S. and Canada are led by left-wing feminist organizations:
Canada: http://www.abolitionprostitution.ca/english/about-us
The Women's Coalition for the Abolition of Prostitution is a pancanadian, feminist and abolitionnist Coalition of seven national, provincial and local women’s groups whose members and the women they work with include prostituted women...
...What we want...Criminalization of johns...
United States: https://www.demandabolition.org/
Sex buyers, or “johns”, drive the illegal sex trade. Without their money, pimps and traffickers have zero incentives. No buyers = no business. No more harm.
Help us take the fight against demand to the next level.
The American politician who charged the owners of Backpage with pimping was California Attorney General Kamala Harris, a left-wing, feminist Democrat.
The Canadian left-wing, feminist prime minister Justin Trudeau voted against C-36 and suggested that he would repeal it, but he has made no move to do so, because he and his feminist supporters fully support it.
If popular left-wing feminist lawyer and reality TV star Anne-France Goldwater runs for Montreal mayor in 2017 and wins, then she will use C-36 to crack down on the sex business in Montreal.

Interesting comment however what is more interesting .is how will she be able to do so as a mayor ?In Quebec the authority of a mayor is extremely limited .https://slmc.uottawa.ca/?q=laws_canada_legal.

Good lord you just make me have so much respect for Coderre all of a sudden. What a nightmare that girl would be!
Each time I see left wing feminist I think about humorist Mario Jean talking about his teenage son "Pas question que sa blonde couche à la maison, j'ai pas de sexe, y en auras pas non plus!"
Cheers,
You make some valid points and you convinced me that feminists represent a threat as much as religious conservatives. However there are feminist groups who are for prostitution and keep in mind these are radical feminists... There platform is rarely based on logic and they do not quiet understand this issue. These are radical feminists and they are not having these viewpoints necessarily because they believe this is violating women... It is more that they believe prostitution represents male dominance (patriarchism) over women... As in men who cannot do what they can with their wife or girlfriend will do it with the prostitutes for their own pleasure as their own will. This is a very touchy subject with them. Knowing this feminists can be convinced.
Trudeau is kind of divided on this issue. But this all means that society in general in North America are against prostitution... They are not ready for this. Feminist views are kind of driven by the old societal norm traditions. Politicians must follow what society wants. This is kind of a loosing battle. Best thing is to move to prostitution friendly countries. But between you and I will take my chances with a liberal over a conservative any day. Remember it was Harper and his Conservatives who made prostitution illegal for the first time in Canadian history. Also when lapdancing became legal it was Jean-Chretien and his Liberals that were in power... I can bet you $100 that had it been Harper lapdancing would still be illegal today.
The goal of these conservative and feminist politicians is to stop or discourage prostitution. They are trying to make it more and more difficult and dangerous as to discourage girls from getting into sex work and would be johns from seeking out sexual services. This is what I noticed especially with Harper's Bill C-36. Working as a sex worker has become much more mainstream then say 30 years ago and the internet made that so much easier to advertise and buy. Young girls in poor or troubled families are more likely to turn to sex work to make ends meet. This is just a hypothesis... I await your thoughts on this.
Guess you missed it when Justine Trudeau claimed to be a feminist. Google it. The law will not change as JT has no balls. The law was basically put in place to stop underaged children, forced into prostitution and drug crimes. I have never heard any legit agency or johns getting busted anywhere. All this complaining is a moot point, unless you are looking for the non-legit entertainment.
No need to... I am fully aware that Trudeau is a self-proclaimed feminist... I do not see the point of you writing this... Let me remind you that it was Harper and his Conservatives that make prostitution illegal for the first time in Canadian history.
North American society is not ready for prostitution... Society is against it... Many are too enveloped in conservative mentality and the church. Many have a family and are raising children... They are very concerned and do not want their children to go into prostitution or be exposed to it. Trudeau has to follow what society wants. The government is making this trade much more unattractive to would be johns and sex workers. Enforcement is at the municipal level. And this should concern you as escorts can use the law to this advantage to extort clients. One last thing I am a stripclub enthusiast and I seek all my take out experiences from stripclubs... Presently with the current anti-prostitution campaign the mileage at the clubs dropped a lot.
there are basically 2 sides to this industry. There is the consensual respectful side (us) and the asshole, exploitative side. Not sure what the proportions are. If you believe the media and the abolitionist it is like 90% exploitative - 10% consensual. I think it is more like the opposite, like 90% of the industry is consensual and 10 % exploitative. Unfortunately, all we ever hear about is the bad stuff, which gives the illusion that the whole industry is like that. Then the laws follow what the majority believes. This battle is far from over
Looks like there is a very good opportunity for sites like merb where they are hosted and run by individuals outside of the US to profit by bringing a new backpage to the internet. At what point will this stupidity by thee US government end.
