mattilda (a.k.a. matt bernstein sycamore) writes on the National Organization for Women’s attempts to pressure NYC publications to pull all advertisements for sexually oriented businesses:
I also don’t know what pulling advertising will do about sex trafficking, other than make it go further underground. Furthermore, as part of anti-trafficking legislation, NOW supports felony enhancement for those convicted of trafficking, and stiffer penalties on those who “patronize illegal commercial sex” (that means people who hire hookers).
