Some brilliant logic from "Equality Minister" Bibiana Aido here. She says that since 90 percent of Spain's prostitutes are from abroad and a lot of them are even slaves - the problem is not that prostitution is essentially legal in Spain (thereby creating a market) no, the problem is that there are evil people who come to take advantage of this market (the pimps).
Hmm let's see, if the market didn't exist would the pimps be enslaving woman? Forcing them to have sex for money? Can you believe they are even discussing the fact that there are slaves in modern day Spain without batting an eye?
I really don't understand this misplaced "freedom" Spain gives women in regards to prostitution. I guess it has something to do with a woman being able to do what she wants with her body - if she wants to hook, fine. The problem is.... men then turn them into slaves - nice freedom!
How does Spain combat this problem? By outlawing prostitution? No, they try to tell low-life scumbags (the male customers) to ... "Please don't exploit women, it's not nice, please don't bang hookers in the street..."
How's that working out? Not very well. Check out this article and photos in El Pais...

I usually find myself agreeing with most Libertarian political ideals. Prostitution is the one I have the hardest time agreeing with or understanding, even less so than the idea to legalize pornography and drugs.
I just have a hard time believing that the evil and sleaze associated with these trades will be made any better by making them like any other business, as I don't honestly believe that the only reason why they are surrounded by evil and sleaze has anything to do with their current legality/illegality.
I find this a strange stance and am all in favor of legalizing it so that they are contributing taxes and are protected. It's gonna happen anyway.
I guess if you want prostitution to be essentially legal - like it is in Spain now - then it should be regulated. I have no idea why they don't.
What I'm saying is that this experiment with "no rules" prostitution in the name of some kind of misplaced women's liberation will end up exploiting women more.
"What I'm saying is that this experiment with "no rules" prostitution in the name of some kind of misplaced women's liberation will end up exploiting women more."
Now that makes sense.
I agree with you Carl, 100%. I hate to say it but sometimes a woman's worst enemy is another woman. This so-called "liberal", "progressive", "feminist" minister of Equality has taken a stance that is retrograde and inhumane. What a spineless piece of work she is. The entire situation is appalling.
