It looks like Sweden's politicians are too sheltered to understand that there are people who enjoy sex work. Instead of trying to make it safe and enjoyable for all parties, they're systemically punishing sex workers, and even redefining the word sex to include onlyfans content (?!) while simultaneously calling them "victims."

The irony, of course, is that the only thing they're a "victim" of is those same politicians.

That’s sort of like saying American politicians are too sheltered to understand people enjoy fentanyl

Comparing a profession to the most addictive and harmful drug known to mankind (or at least close to it!) is an absurd strawman.

Is sex not an addiction in your mind?

The sex industry is terrible for everyone involved; it's addictive, it ruins the lives of the girls and men who work in it, it spreads dangerous diseases, and it doesn't contribute to the advancement of our society. I can't imagine why anyone would support it except out of a sadomasochist curiosity.

I suspect (ironically) you may be too sheltered to understand why the sex industry is so harmful
