Yes, the 85% stat is bogus. I'd love to see how that stat is derived.On the face of it, the law doesn't sound like a good idea IMO, however:

Assuming for a moment that Maud Olivier didn't pull this stat out of her ass, consider that if 85% of any group of people were directly involved in illegality of a particular type, wouldn't most people want something fairly heavy-handed done about it (and perhaps rightly so)?
However, I'm quite skeptical about that statistic because if a lawmaker *knows* that an exact number of people are directly involved in an illegal activity, then surely it also follows that all of that number have been identified and with sufficient evidence to put a stop to all of those operations (or at least severely impede them). If they knew all that, then there would be some massive police raids, and instead of penalising customers of the oldest profession (which does not directly target the problem, if anything it makes the plight of those being trafficked / enslaved worse as there is no money coming in), they could score a massive hit against what apparently is an extremely serious problem, which would likely make crime figures in France plummet for years to come (IMO it's reasonable to assume that if one's career is as morally bankrupt as trafficking/slavery, then they're probably doing other illegal stuff as well).

These two posts have completely convinced me that your level of delusion is so great that you're not worth spending any more of my time ever discussing anything with you. That other thread where you started bragging about your high IQ was a pretty obvious warning sign, but this... wow.
Christ dude, just as a side note, if you knew anything more than a biased cereal-packet explanation of feminism, you'd know that some people who describe themselves as feminists are against prostitution (as they feel it objectifies/degrades women, etc), and there are other self-described feminists who are totally fine with prostitution (ie. "their body, their choice"). That point is just the tip of the iceberg.
Uhh, we've already discussed the fact that feminists cannot even agree on prostitution in this thread, try to keep up. Read.
