I'm still waiting on the numbers. Until then, I see no evidence that the perception that men are the main patrons by a huge margin is not correct.
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.
Evidence?
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.
I have no doubt that female harassment and violence against males is higher than reported, but whose fault is it that it goes unreported? By whose choice is it considered an embarrassment to report female crimes against men?
It’s wrong both ways and exists both ways. Correct both ways.
If you're referring to human trafficking, of course they should arrest the women who patronize it. How does pointing that out prove that women have any presence, never mind a major presence, among those who patronize the traffickers' products?
As for doing something about men being harrassed or assaulted by women and then discriminated against by "the system", what are men waiting for? They have billions to spend on prostitution. 1% of that would be millions that could be used to fight this. No one is stopping men but men.
“....more than the male students...”
Does it make any difference whether the wrong means more because it is predominately more female than male? You’re saying, if I understand you right, that it is a female problem and needs to be corrected because of that. I’m saying it is both ways, female and male, and needs to be corrected period. I don’t care which gender is being exploited or mistreated or trafficked. They’re both wrong.
“....arrest the women who patronize it.”
Again, you are never going to get the people that patronize it as it is done in every country on earth. And the using of ripped off people in another country for sexual exploitation is not within our capacity. Prostitution in Nevada is even legal outside the cities. So how do you account for that.
Additionally there are many male escort service for women for the purpose of string free “companionship.” One, cowboys4angels.com is a lot more than just street sex.
COWBOYS4ANGELS has been a hot topic over the past ten years in the press. We have personally appeared on the Tyra Banks show, the Dr. Phil show, 20/20, Night Line News, the Joy Behar Show, NatGeo Taboo, TLC Discovery and the list goes on. We have been featured in Playgirl, Glamour, Sheen, Hustler, Cosmopolitan and Esquire Magazine. Please take a moment to watch our recent press clips along with reading some of the articles of the agency. Hopefully you will be impressed with our level of professionalism and feel safe allowing us to provide you with an amazing encounter with one of our elite men. All at a cost of around $500 an hour. There are many more for both and different tastes. The net’s full of them. But they are discrete enough not to be obvious and get nailed in states other than Nevada.
And there are many other services that pamper to women like Mintboys that cater to both sexes and Rentboys that are gay only. You can look them up on the net. And if you think they aren’t making money, they wouldn’t be there. There’s even been TV shows and movies about houses like the Chicken Ranch and Mustang Ranch. Both were real and catered to both sexes.
“I see no evidence that the perception that men are the main patrons by a huge margin is not correct.”
I never said it was or wasn’t. I never provided any numbers. I didn’t provide any numbers that said men or women were more into solicited sex. I told you it would be impossible to give you a number either way because of the discretionary aspect of the job. I’m saying that women (janes) do exist in a large enough number to be a market.
But see, you and I have one major disparity, you want to catch the johns, just the men only even though there are many women pimps and solicitors in the business. And I want to catch the kidnappers that get them to where they have no hope of escape like in another country.
You can try to catch the men, and I can try to cut off the source of tools. But I am not going to determine whether more men than women, or oherwise use prostitutes when both are wrong and one is not worse than the other in that any both do.
Prostitution is not the problem in the US and the law displays that, it is well defined. A conviction for solicitation of prostitution can result in a jail sentence of up to a year in most states. First-time offenders typically face much shorter jail sentences, such as a maximum of between 30 days to six months. Felony convictions can result in a prison sentence of at least a year, and possibly five years or more.
Kidnapping is another story. Kidnapping convictions can result in lengthy prison sentences, including life sentences in some situations and states. Sentences of 20 years or more are common for first degree or aggravated kidnapping.
You want to put men in jail for no more than five years for solicitation and I want the kidnappers to get as much as life with 20 years common in most states with nothing attached yet for the Mann Act that will add a lot to it. You tell me which one is more contributory to the illicit sex and violence to the victim? The law speaks for itself.
“I have no doubt that female harassment and violence against males is higher than reported, but whose fault is it that it goes unreported?”
Who cares? You admit that it exists is all it needs to a need to stop it. But in your own words, female harassment and violence against males is higher than reported. And that would have to include sexual harassment just like the men. You can’t have both.
