“If both want it, why are they criticized?”: the debate over the woman who walked her partner on a leash in the middle of an Amsterdam street

A woman walking calmly through Amsterdam, holding a leash… tied around her partner’s neck. The video exploded on social media and split people in two. 😏

Some defend it: “It’s between them, it’s consensual, what’s the problem?” Others get straight to the point: “I respect what they do in their home, but public space is not the place for this.”

🇳🇱 Just another day in Amsterdam 🤣

Where does individual freedom end and respect for those who share that space begin? 👇
