Here is the article in question (in french)
Quel est notre rôle dans le maintien de la prostitution? | JDM (journaldemontreal.com)
So the article start by talking about pimps and minors, wich obviously we all agree the police should go after and put a stop to for sure. Basically it start on the right foot. But it gradually and without much notice switch to prostitution as a whole and seem to blend completely the 2 things by the end. The author mention the peoples being for the legalisation of prostitution like its something wrong and link prostitution with violence or perversion. The last paragraphe is especially weird to me, even going as far as saying stop consuming porn.
Its evident this author is completely biased in her views and is against the idea. Its her right. And its an opinion text, not a factual article. But being allowed to be published in a big media outlet like that means you have to keep some standards and you should not put something so drastic.
If you been following Sonia Von Sacher, you know she is militating a lot for this hobby and "decriminalization" of it, and trying to put this business for once on its good side, expose said good side.
I am not saying there ain't a nasty side. We all know it. Maybe even Merb and other "collectives" on the good side is not the majority. I couldn't know. I decided myself to remain far from anything shady or risky when i started and i plan on keeping it that way as long as i can, hopefully ever. So maybe yes i do not see the bad side as much as others. But you can't put everything in the same basket and i wished those authors would actually instead focuss on the bad side and do mention there is a good side. Sometimes its shows on TV or medias but it seem way rarer and when it is, it seem to be in late night or something like that, like that show with Melanie Maynard a few years back where she did interviewed escorts who were at ease in their job.
