Whenever I bring up that it's men patronizing this business, someone always replies with the possibility that the female percentage is much higher. We don't know what the make up of the unreported cases are, but we do know who the reported cases are.
I reply this way because I'm tired of others trying to gloss over the fact that the vast majoritity of the patrons are male. That males make up a high percentage of the victimes doesn't excuse that.
I'm so disgusted with this because some men (not all) think that kidnapping, drugging, and abusing girls an women is a price worth paying to get some action.
I'm also disgusted because men always complain about the discrimination they face in the family courts or the war on boys, but spend billions a year on prostitution while spending next to nothing supporting the MRAs who are fighting the discrimination they are always complaining about. Even those who patronize women who are hookers "by choice" (that is not forced in by traffickers) are still deciding that getting a warm wet spot to stick it into is more important than the rights of their sons, yet they want everyone to rally around their cause and defend them when it's their turn to get shafted by the system.
The latter is self inflicted. It's forcing women and girls into prostitution so that men can have a warm wet spot to stick it into that disgusts me.
“....so that men can have a warm wet spot to stick it into that disgusts me.
As it should. But to say that the action is one way and give the appearance that men are the cause and effect and he reason the problem exists, is short sided. If you want to complain about the sex trafficking, I agree.
” We don’t know what the make up of the unreported cases are, but we do know who the reported cases are.”
Do we? We only know what we are supposed to hear about with a small percentage so the gender lines can be determined and create another class of victims to further the attack to be lead in one direction and not the other.
One such survey of college students accomplished by the American Association of University Women stated that:
Female students reported experiencing sexual harassment more than the male students, the percentage of male students reporting sexual harassment increased from 49% in 1993 to 56% in 2001. Unreported cases for men were normally unreported due to fear or embarrassment.
But the point is they do exist in large enough numbers to be considered a big enough problem to not be overlooked due to gender. The size of the problem has nothing to do with the correction of it. It’s wrong both ways and exists both ways. Correct both ways.
