feminism has come a long way. i like the U Mass prof who believes that pimps and johns should be arrested, but not prostitutes. nothing like equal rights!
i wonder who they should arrest if a woman hires a male escort and has sex with him.
thanks for posting the pictures of those HOTTIES!! do you have any PHONE NUMBERS?
(oh, man--i forgot to take my anti-psychotic medication.)
Actually there's no hope for men. That's exactly what many wives' intentions are upfront, particularly the "trophy wives." Men are to blind to see it.
Fifty percent of marriages end in divorce, avg term is 3 years, and the women file 75% of the time. They don't even need a reason; just say they're bored. Three million women each year get close to 50% of the husbands' avg. net worth of $80k. The divorce industry is the largest corporation in the US. It tranfers a net $80 billion a year from men to women, attorneys pocket $20 Billion. It dwarf's GM and Microsoft combined. Like a judge once told me referring to the endless divorce industry-marriage scams he's seen. "Prostitutes are more honest than alot of the wives I meet. They at least tell men the cost upfront."
There is absolutely no substance here. Only the chittering of fraudulent "intellectuals" totally removed from reality.

You point is very well said, thanks so much
Just to wrap this item up for posterity, this measure, calling for police leniency toward criminal prostitution, failed by a 2-1 margin.

Radical feminists want to destroy the traditional mores of society, and therefore are tempted to support prostitution.
But they also want to be protected from men's baser impulses, and therefore tend to pull back from the implications of their ideology.
In other words, they want to have their cake and eat it too. In the real world, this is never possible. Mugged by reality again.

When I was in college, the pomposity of academic argument, foreshadowed by the absurdly smug and strained titles of the various papers presented, often drained the energy out of what might otherwise have been a lively debate. This article brought back memories of how hopelessly ill-equipped most liberal arts profs are to engage reality.
