#Review: @trade_theplay @thepleasance ★★★★
"The themes of abuse and deception are explored in such a visceral manner that I in the audience felt my entire body tense up; personal values and moral difficulty are built up in such a gradual way that it is as if a bomb is dropped at the end."

I decided to post this #OriginalSong in honour of #InternationalWomensDay. I wrote it in the late 80's or early 90's and recorded it back then, but this morning I replaced the vocal because I wanted to sing it as an old woman, not as a young woman. The old tracks are BrienBrannigan on bass/ guitar Francois Lardeau drums/keyboard and the beautiful backup voice of Rena Hecht.

最近在研究报税和申请退税,突然好奇,性工作者要不要交税呢?怎么交?看了一篇加拿大的报道,(在他们采访的三百多位性工作者中有)75%会交税,交了有信用,方便贷款,在新冠时期不方便工作还可以领失业补助。

然后看了几篇,看到一句,在挪威外国人做性工作是不违法的,因为性工作不被认为是工作。但收入税还是要交的。It is not illegal for foreigners to work as sex workers in Norway, as sex work is not considered work. But income from sex work are taxable including value added tax, VAT.

我同意sex work is work,但被这个逻辑惊到了,好像又很合理?因为按这个逻辑反过来,full decriminalized的新西兰,因为性工作是工作,所以没有公民或者永居的身份,做性工作本身是会被遣返的。

挪威遣返性工作者这点经常被骂,首先挪威有些警察执法上是特别有病,甚至会在新冠期间钓鱼执法假装客户(。)性工作者接工作了就被以破坏新冠隔离之类的规定遣返(。)但看了很多文章,挪威的遣返都不是因为性工作本身,而是签证居留之类的问题(当然选择性执法也是一种歧视)。有一篇讲尼日利亚女性去挪威做性工作的调查,挪威的性工作者中最多是来自尼日利亚的,但尼日利亚被认为是“risk country”,签证很难搞。于是很多尼日利亚女性的操作就是先去意大利西班牙这些容易拿签证的南欧国家,找个保姆清洁工之类的工作,拿到居留,然后去挪威。甚至有的直接就偷渡去挪威。这里有一个我都忘了的冷知识,挪威是申根区但挪威不是欧盟国家,欧盟公民/居留可以入境但停留时间是有限制的。因为身份问题,这些来自尼日利亚的性工作者遭到了伤害去报警,就有被遣返的,很多人就因此忍着不敢去。

在full decriminalized的新西兰,整个性产业都是合法的。但我看到一个新闻是,一对巴西夫妇因为从事性工作被遣返,丈夫是以泥水工的工作拿工作签证,但因为被发现做皮条客,介绍其他巴西人来做性工作,而被遣返了(可能是冷知识,在广义上任何做sex trade相关工作的人都是sex worker,所以皮条客其实也算)。妻子甚至没有签证,work in the sex industry illegally,说得就比较模糊了。怎么说呢,虽然信息很少,但看起来真的就很sex trafficking(对不起无锤发散了(。)

当然新西兰不准没公民/永居身份的人做性工作这点上也是经常被骂的,也有很多人要求临时签证也要有做性工作的权利。目前事实就是,在新西兰没身份的人也会做,还要忍受剥削和虐待。

当然我也不知道新西兰政府/立法者在想什么,但我觉得,肯定是有sex trafficking这方面的顾虑吧。根据美国2021年的人口贩卖报告,新西兰没有确认过本国或外国的成年的sex trafficking受害者。新西兰在411页开始,可以仔细看看这份报告,新西兰对sex trafficking的处理可以说极其魔幻,full decriminalization支持者说新西兰几乎没有sex trafficking真的是很离谱。
The government did not initiate any prosecutions, convict any traffickers, or identify any victims. Officials did not have written procedures for victim identification, and the government has never reported identifying an adult victim of sex trafficking.
https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/337308-2022-TIP-REPORT-inaccessible.pdf
上面那份报告里还提到过,新西兰政府没有认定过外国的sex trafficking受害者,The government has never certified a foreign victim of sex trafficking。就很离谱,挪威和新西兰都是会给受害者发合法签证/居留的,如果要留下来当证人还会有更长的签证/居留。这里我不禁疑惑,既然新西兰不认定受害者的身份,那这些人怎么拿到合法的签证呢?唉这个我以后再看吧。
说到这里,之前看一个报道,倒是解开了我的一个长久疑惑,新西兰再怎么样也还是一个地球上的国家啊不可能真的没有sex trafficking吧?如果有受害者报案,总是要调查起诉的吧?那怎么样也得有几起证据硬到最后能定罪的,不能让罪犯就走了吧?如果新西兰不认sex trafficking那最后怎么定罪呢?无意中随便翻到的没有保存,大概就是,在新西兰有人被定罪assist minor to sell sex。行吧,无语了。
我是abolitionist,但其实我对到底采用哪种法律倒没有很强的执念,我觉得只要decriminalize性工作者就行了(我指狭义的sell sex的人,皮条客经营者之类的不算谢谢),其他你们自己看具体国情吧。我经常骂decriminalization支持者主要是他们一些人装瞎又嘴硬(。)我相信对发达国家来说,罚买方罚第三方不罚卖方的北欧模式,还是全产业去罪化的full decriminalization其实没太大差别,因为人家的社会福利和治安就摆在那里。我想起Evicted那本书里,作者说他田野调查的时候,住在很差的街区,和性工作者住在一起,但他调查对象们,经常因为交不起房租被驱逐的贫困女性,有的还是单亲妈妈,倒没有做性工作的。可能有,但他没写,他不知道,但这些调查对象再穷还是领福利的,吃不上饭还能去政府机构拿罐头。
说到底,我甚至不觉得性工作是一个单纯的女权问题,而是所有的社会问题的终点之一,只是走到这个终点的大多是女性。说性工作者是没得选,还是性工作者有得选只是她们认为选这个最好,都是没意义的。因为每个性工作者都是不一样的,要怎么选只有她们自己知道。这是社会的问题。把做性工作这个选择包装成empowerment,做这个选择叫agency,真的很可笑。我搜索sex workers want to leave,每个调查里想离开这行的都有90%左右。我说大部分人不想干这行不过分吧?
我以前是很怕看这方面新闻的,2020年才开始认真了解,实不相瞒这个契机竟然是李云迪嫖娼的新闻(。)最近想,好像这方面讨论也是2020年才开始变多的,是不是因为新冠对经济的影响,导致做线上的cam model的人变多了,确实看过报道说很多人考虑为了付房租去做only fan(但也有报道说only fan其实根本赚不到钱)。sex work is work就好像对这个有着各种社会问题的垃圾社会的一个装饰贴纸,把社会的责任推到个人身上,虽然你什么都没有,但你的身体是你的资产,你还是有选择,你可以养活自己。和2010s的lean in girl boss那一套empowerment狗屁没什么差别,只是让我觉得2020之后经济是真的不行了。
