Prostitution is Violence

[redqueen]

So I finally got around to posting about this subject. I wanted to make it all official looking and quote studies and sources but in the end I figured it would just start a source war. So I just outlined my thoughts in the hope of sparking meaningful discussion.

1. What a surprise!

Prostitution advocates, unable to respond to the content of your post are making semantic arguments about your title and beating up straw men.

I'm still waiting for the inevitable, "what about MALE prostitution" non-response.

3. Ha, yes.

It's rather hard to admit you view victims of human trafficking, drug addicts, and former abused children/runaways/etc as just so much collateral damage that must be tolerated so the happy hookers and sex buyers can do as they please.

But still, we see it. It's very sad.

2. All I did was give you a rec

You know - anything I wanted to really say would have broken TOS. As it is - I'm walking a fine line on a Gov'nah Dougboy (Chris Christie) thread. I've got a few men panty bunching over that.

Might as well hit your GD thread on prostitution. Let me think of a clever way to make them eat their words.

I'll have to take a breath from my thread to check yours out.
