They have come to my attention through an interview by "Der Spiegel", Europe's biggest newsmagazine, which was published online today.
The translation by Google isn't the best, but you may be able to make some sense out of it. The worst thing is that the german word "Freier" doesn't translate to "free" or even worse "free man" in this context, but means a prostitutes customer.
So the headline would translate to "What prostitutes clients do is resembles to rape".
I don't want to spoil your fun, so I will only ask this: Why don't they loose a single word about also punishing the prostitute?
A sidenote: There is some heavy action and discussion going on ATM over here in Europe towards banning prostitution. It's been fully legalized in Germany just some years ago and there were recent efforts to ban it again.
The situation improved since the legalisation for many prostitutes because they could legally sue clients, could get insured, and so on, because they weren't forced to operate in the dark and brutal pimps had lesser options because the whores could even denounce them at the police without the fear of risking any punishment for themselves or their clients.
The leader of this petition on banning it in Germany was Alice Schwarzer, Germany's most famous lesbian and feminist, which funnily recently had to commit on being guilty of tax fraud.

because they will most likely do it like the feminist utopia in sweden: make prostitution legal for the whores, while viciously punishing the clients.

Yep. In fact they even explicitly demand that model.

I will bet my left nut, there is not a single female "client" who has been convicted.

2000 of those idiots worldwide, why exactly is that worthy of an article again? A random supermarket sees more traffic every fucking day.
They interviewed a 23 year old and made a story out of that.
That is not journalism, that is propaganda.

Exactly my thoughts.
There are an estimated 400.000 prostitutes. Only in Germany. So who the fuck would care what 2000 idiots worldwide would have to say?

Chances are, either the reporter or the editor was friends with one of the activists in charge.
Journalism is very incestuous and corrupt in that way.
