STRAIGHT FROM THE HORSES MOUTH: Sweden Does NOT Support Harm Reduction

A Swedish Radio interview of various Swedish political leaders revealed a truth about the Swedish Government that Sex worker right's advocates and organizations have know all along. The "Swedish Model" is about abolition and cares NOTHING about harm reduction!



Some of the outrageous positions the Swedish Government holds are:

"...it's totally strange to think about harm reduction because that would be accepting prostitution and that would be as crazy as accepting rape."

When asked about what plans there were for social measures to improve the conditions for sex workers Sweden's chancellor of justice Anna Scarhead stated:

Scarhead: "We don't work with harm reduction in Sweden...because that's not the way Sweden looks at this. We look upon it that this is a BAN on prostitution. There should be no prostitution and what we work with is to try and MAKE people who do this...not do it anymore."

This is backed up by most out reach centers offering only counseling and encouragement to get out of prostitution. Most sex workers that refuse are denied access to condoms as well as advice on health and safety. One Radical Feminist on youtube made her position on this clear when she left this comment:

"Giving out condoms only promotes prostitution. As the Swedish Chancellor of Justice said, the purpose is not harm reduction but to make people stop. And any harms to prostitutes will help encourage them to stop aiding and abetting the patriarchy.

The target isn't the wimmin. The target is MEN and the patriarchy they impose on disadvantaged wimmin. What's needed in Sweden and everywhere is putting men in JAIL long-term for turning wimmin's bodies to consumer commodities"

So Sweden claims the moral high ground by not officially punishing prostitutes because they claim they see them as victims but what of the sex workers who are NOT victims? By denying them access to condoms they not only put these sex workers at a higher risk for STI's but their clients as well. In turn these clients could go home and infect their spouses. If a husband infects his wife with HIV/AIDS; for instance, and that woman gets pregnant before either of them know they have it...what of that child?

HOW MANY PEOPLE IS SWEDEN WILLING TO MAKE SUFFER JUST TO PUNISH A CERTAIN TYPE OF WOMAN FOR HER CHOICES?

This to me seems a barbaric way to run a Government.

I have heard so many Radical Feminists go on and on about how the Swedish Model Report (put out by the bias Swedish Government) was supposedly a "success." Given how openly they declare their complete disregard for the safety and opinions of sex workers who choose the work freely, I have to ask:


-What does this "success" mean?

-Successful for WHO?

-And successful at what cost?



If it doesn't make you wonder...you are not thinking.

Donna M Hughes the WHOLE Truth

Donna M Hughes is a prominent abolitionist feminist who has spent many years on the forefront of the anti-prostitution movement. In the first part of this video I show the connection between Donna M. Hughes and The United Nations using a UN report entitled UNITED NATIONS EXPERT GROUP MEETING ON INTERNATIONAL MIGRATION AND DEVELOPMENT. I then discuss the inconsistencies in the claims of human trafficking and the actual findings in the UK by sharing a blog post by Stephen Paterson called UK human trafficking claims are false in 68% of cases, says UKHTC report. I finish it off with a reading from a book entitled Trafficking and Prostitution Reconsidered by Kamala Kempadoo. The introduction to the book states:

This book documents trafficking not as the enslavement of women, but as the trade and exploitation of labor under conditions of coercion and force, analyzed from the lives, agency, and rights of women and men who are involved in a variety of activities in a transnationalized world. The writings-all by intellectuals who have worked closely with trafficked persons, sex workers, and women's empowerment groups-shed light on everyday circumstances, popular discourses, national ploicies, and grassroots struggles for change.

This book is very powerful and informative and I suggest anyone wanting a well rounded understanding of human trafficking look into it. I got mine on Amazon.com It was so marked up with highlighter (I bought it used) that I could tell the person who had it before me loved it as much as I do.

Don't like it...DON'T WATCH!

I have gotten the criticism more than once from a certain youtuber along the lines of "all you ever talk about on your channel is feminism and sex work." I have to admit I was a little offended by this. Not only is it factually untrue as proven by the videos I've made on Shirley Sherrod, The Penal System and Discrimination, an advice video I made to a girl with severe shyness A Bit About Shyness, and the myriad of silly videos I did just for shits and giggles but even if it was true...SO FUCKING WHAT! As if sex workers right's advocates weren't the minority in this fight for true equality for women in the world! I would probably have to upload 100 videos for every one piece of disinformation put out by the ANTI-harm reduction feminists to balance it out and even at that I'm reaching.

I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS!
I AM FOCUSED IN A WAY I HAVE NEVER BEEN BEFORE!
AND I DON'T APOLOGIZE FOR IT!

Most of my life I have been searching for something worth believing in! Any relationship I've gotten into has made me unfocused and took me further away from myself. My family; though they love me and I them, just doesn't understand the way I think as they are very religious. And just about everyone I am surrounded by in real life is too busy chasing after the latest material thing to give a shit about much else. Am I to be judged and shamed for my devotion to a cause greater than myself? I DON'T THINK SO! My channel is mostly all feminist content...mostly all about sex workers right's and if anyone doesn't like it then DON'T WATCH! I don't want to bore you for fuck sake!

For everyone who does watch...Thank you! I appreciate that you appreciate my content and I hope I can continue to bring you a different perspective.

BEWARE OF AuntieDiana1969/SaelPalani/DianaBoston/Feminist Outlaw!

I feel compelled to document the slew of harassment I received on youtube by a user that goes by the Screen name SaelPalani/AuntieDiana1969/DianatheDefender (some call her DianaBoston)because I suspect I am not the first nor will I be the last to have to deal with her and her obsessive hatred and abuse.

This woman claims to be a Marxist, socialist, anti-porn feminist and has a blog called "FEMINIST OUTLAW" that she started shortly after targeting another youtuber by the screen name rosskay for wanting to leave the feminist group she was moderator of on YouTube.

In targeting this woman she made PRIVATE messages from her public which seems to be one of her favorite tactics and is indicative of her untrustworthy nature. During this time a YouTuber (Bihn) that was once Rosskay's boyfriend tried to step in and defend her. Though I don't agree with his tactics I can now see in hindsight how someone would be compelled to defend someone they once loved from the brutal cyber abuse this woman is capable of.

I must note that I was a new youtuber at this time and though Bihn tried to get me involved I made it clear to him in more than one PM (private message) that I didn't really know the people involved so didn't feel like it was my place to take a side. Since then he and I have had little to no contact though he has visited my BlogTV a time or two and has always been pleasant to me.

It is important to mention him because he went on a flag campaign (flagging a video is one of the ways in which youtube puts the responsibility of policing youtube content in the hands of the youtube community and is a controversial thing to do because it has been know to be abused in the past) against SaelPalani (then known as DianaBoston) and she lost her channel.

One of the people involved in this flag campaign was a youtuber named sommersonset who later outed him for it by making his PRIVATE messages public (again very untrustworthy) and he has since had a bad reputation for it. People tend to forget that sommersonset flagged videos as well...how convenient.

The pro vs. anti debate on youtube had gotten very heated. I was aligned with the pro-sex worker's rights camp and Diana with the anti. BOTH sides were taking shots at each other. BOTH sides got personal in their attacks and to say anyone is blameless in the heated nature of the exchange would be disingenuous. I made a video confronting Diana on her abusive tone called "DianaBoston does not speak for feminism" because I felt that she was using feminism as an excuse to be abusive to others and it was giving feminism a bad name. One MRA even called her our (meaning feminists) queen and I could NOT let that misconception stand.




Since then she has HATED me and sought every opportunity to bring up the matter even when given no real reason to. Then:

8/6/2010
-A male YouTuber she is quite fond of; in spite of his misogynistic tone and tactics, made a video accusing me of having a sock account under the user name "templedancer."

-Then SaelPalani unleashed a slew of videos obsessively trying to prove that that account belonged to me. The videos where:



8/6/2010
*"Divinity's Purpose on YouTube"
(In this video she basically makes a big deal out of her belief that the templedancer account belonged to me...as if she had never had a sock account in her life.)



8/7/2010
*"Let's Switch Each Other's Profile Pics Instead of Admitting Divinity IS a TROLL." (She made this one because at first my friends and I thought her making such a big deal about it was funny and we switched our profile pictures around as a joke. Little did we realize how devoid of any kind of sense of humor this woman is.)

*"Rightful Anger At The Right Person(s)"
(In this video she tries to explain her her anger away and accuses me of being a "bully." IRONY FTW! In this video she also accuses me of have 2 MORE sock accounts. Paranoid much?)

*"What I Left Out; Purposely. Divinity=CAUGHT " (At this point her obsessiveness was getting a little creepy.)



8/8/2010
*"To Feminists Who Will Be Affected"
(In this video she apologizes to the imaginary sock accounts and tries to make nice.)

*Then at this point she made a video originally entitled "Putting the Coffin in the Ground." In this video she turned her camera on her own computer and shows the city I live in. Information I had NEVER shared on youtube. At this point I get freaked out by her obsessiveness and contempt for my safety as well as the language and tone of her title. In the low bar she even stated that anyone who didn't believe her should be shot. At this point I called the police and filed a cyber bullying and harassment reports. I also filed a report with YouTube via the "Help & Safety tools." I then made the following video.



Diana's doc dropping video was taken down (doc dropping is a term used on youtube that means someones personal information was given out.) She then moved to her backup channel AuntieDiana1969 and reuploaded the video and even made two videos asking others to "mirror" the video not caring for one second that that video put another woman's safety at risk...SOME FEMINIST SHE IS!


*"False Flagged on The Video Exposing Divinity.mp4"

*"Please Mirror Mah Vid♥"

At this point I reported this video AGAIN via the "Help and Safety Tools" not realizing that when docs are dropped you have to file a report with ANOTHER section of YouTube.

*"I Will NOT Be Bullied Into Silence" In classic sociopathic form she makes this video claiming that I was the one bullying HER. (Here's where the lies start to get out of hand. At this point it is beyond some B.S. sock account and all about smearing my name entirely.

I had also felt the need to let people know why I called the police so they could fully understand that Diana was in fact using the stigma of "whore" as a tool of intimidation by trying to silence me by compromising my safety.





8/9/2010
*"Divinity and Binh Working Together" (In this video Diana really reaches and tries to piggy back me onto Bihn for his bad reputation as a false flagger to drag my name through the dirt.)

*"Zaimoren Suspended For Mirroring My Vid (I Think It Was My Vid)" This video is very important and this is why...






8/12/2010
*"Ms Espejismo is Not Me" In this video she claims that MsEspejismo is real and is her girlfriend. But several youtubers including myself and BobChaos23 suspect otherwise. In the comment section of this video MsE threatened to reveal my phone #. I suspect MsE is really Diana.




Around this same time xxxild also came out with this video letting eveyone on youtube know exactly what we've been putting up with from these people.




8/14/2010
*"The Truth Has Set Me Free part 1"

*"The Truth Has Set Me Free part 2"
(In part 2 she makes known her true intent when she publicly admits she is dropping my docs as blackmail to get me to take down every video I've ever made about her.)

*"I Won't Negotiate With a Bully & Gaslighters" (In this video she makes it know that she has copied 4 of my BlogTVs and posted one to her blog.)



8/15/2010
-At this point even the other anti-porn feminists could see things had gone to far. Owleyes777 made this video and I have to admit it shocked me. Her and Diana have been friends for sometime and I know she got a lot of heat for it. Thank you Owleyes777!





-I HAD HAD ENOUGH! I released this video appealing to YouTube for it support and support I got! At least 25 people mirrored my video and the message saturated youtube.





8/16/2010
*"Divinity= Thetempledancer imposter account to garner personal information" Diana uploads a edited version of the video dropping my docs.

*"I am standing up to a bully. NO MORE." Oddly, Diana released this video before the one I list above. It is an exact duplicate of my video "Further Action."



8/17/2010
*"Thank You For the Truth DreamedBlue" (In a pathetic attempt to save face after being exposed for the liar and manipulator she is, Diana claims she took the video dropping my docs down by choice. As the above video "No End to Diana's lies" proves...she's of course LYING! AGAIN!......figures.

My final video on the matter calling for some sort of calm.



So, the point of this blog post is... I am not the first one to be the target of this obsessive and sociopathic cyber stalker/harasser AND I PROBABLY WON'T BE THE LAST! In 11 days she made 17 videos about me bent on compromising my safety and smearing my name (and she continues to make more).....because I stood up to her.

This blog is a PSA to anyone who may come in contact with this abusive and crazy woman. She has even gone so far as to accuse ME (a heterosexual woman)of sexually harassing her in the last three paragraphs of a blog post she wrote. There is nothing this woman will not say and when she sets her sights on you she is relentless.

DON'T trust her with your personal information!

DON'T say anything to her in a PM you wouldn't want publicly revealed!

Don't let your guard down with her because she is bent on controlling everyone in her environment and if she can't she will hurt you!

BEWARE!

Update Video 2 months later-One womans obsession




Full playlist of videos Diana has made about me




Though Diana almost stopped making videos about me she has taken to obsessively commenting to me in the most vile ways. I have never heard a grown woman say the things she does and don't care to repeat it. I have had enough of the bullshit from the anti-porn feminists on YouTube and don't want to pollute my channel with the smell of it anymore so I opened another channel just for the purpose of dealing with them called FeministObsession1.


So far the most important video I have made released on that channel is one called "In the beginning..." where I share the story of the events that led to the making of the "DianaBoston does not speak for Feminism" video.

Adding to the focus of this blog.

When I started this blog I intended it to be a place I could share the things about my womanhood that may have violated the terms of service on youtube. I still intend to do this once in a while but more and more, I feel the need to do my own writing. I feel the need to share thoughts with the world that may not be video material or just small critiques on things I am learning about from day to day.

Since I started my channel on youtube I have learned so much. My original intent for my channel was to be an advice channel for strippers. I spent about 10 years off and on as a dancer and still work in a bar to this day. I find myself noticing many common mistakes dancers make. My unique perspective from with in the industry gives me not only first hand knowledge but a sense of empathy for these girls that many do not have.

Though I still intend to use my channel for this my focus has changed. I wasn't counting on meeting so many sex workers advocates like:

FeministWhore who also has an awesome blog and a keen ability to deconstruct the many laws and organizations attempting to squash sex workers rights and silence us.

YeOldeHeretic is actually a channel used by three sex workers advocates: Laurel, Aymi, and Dreamedblue. All have been involved in the fight for sex workers rights for some time and I have found them a valuable source of information and support.

iamcuriousblue who is such a wealth of information you would think he was a sex worker but he's not. I think we consider him an HONORARY sex worker. He also has a blog and I suggest everyone check it out.

And so many more.

I think the thing that has been the biggest shock for me is how hateful, hurtful, slut shaming, vitriolic and willfully ignorant I have found many anti-porn feminists to be. I had no idea feminism had been so tainted by their hate. No wonder feminism has such a bad reputation for being hateful man bashing. Well; much to their chagrin, I AM a sex positive feminist and I am not going away.

So that's it. Thanks for taking the time to read this. I hope you will leave a comment and come back.
