I'm not asking you too, did you know there's this thing called social media, where sex workers can communicate and you can hear from their perspectives rather than from cops, christian ngos, neoliberal imperialists, and ill informed politicians parroting garbage statistics (90% of prostitutes are controlled by pimps).
There are also good human rights organizations as well.

"A few years ago, Jasmine lost custody of her children to her abusive ex-partner after a relative informed social service that she was a sex worker. Despite his aggressive behaviour, her occupation—and refusal to ‘admit’ that it was a form of self-harm—led the state to deem her the less fit parent.
It was no easy task, but Jasmine fought to regain access to her children. After two years—during which her ex-partner stalked and threatened her—social services realized their mistake and began working to reunite Petite and her children. But at a meeting with her son for the first time in over a year, Jasmine’s husband stabbed the social worker present at their meeting and killed Jasmine.
The injustices that manifested in Jasmine’s murder took place in the context of the Swedish model, which criminalizes the clients of sex workers."
this is entirely tragic but i don't see how it follows at all that this was anything to do with swedish legal attitudes to prostitution

they should have added a record scratch .wav between the sentence about the murders and the sentence about the The Swedish Model, it's a complete non sequitur

Because in the eyes of the Swedish government it would be better to give custody to a psychopath than a woman who is an unapologetic sex worker, I don't know how that's unclear.

It's almost as if despite the high minded rhetoric, Sweden's policy on sex workers has nothing to do with their well being and they consider their lives disposable.

Backus posted:The McNeill quote in response to Murphy is kind of a non sequitur, since Murphy talks about Twitter and McNeill responds with a point about general internet access. In fact, a little under 20% of Americans use Twitter, and it's not a demographically neutral 20%. That doesn't mean we shouldn't listen to the people who participate, but we should be cautious about treating it as the Authentic Voice of the population.

which obviously goes 10-fold for using twitter to gauge public reaction in developing countries
