Well, a lot of folks in my industry (breeding alpacas) can set their own hours, pick their clients, and keep their profits, but we don't have to worry about our clients killing us or giving us a deadly disease.
Then again, our jobs take work, commitment, responsibility, and constant study to keep up with the industry. Perhaps not as "glamorous" as prostitution.
Yeah, those skinny little crack addicts taking on all comers in Langley Park sure look "empowered"...I'd trade with them in an instant...
“Can you set your own work hours? Pick your clients? Keep all the profits?”
talking about govt workers?
I swear, sometimes I think that modern feminists are all dirty old men in disguise because they keep on coming up with new ways for guys to get laid without any committments.
Horsehooki. Prostitution requires pimps and protections of all kinds. It's not freedom. And gaining authority through powerstruggle empowerment is accepting forms of terrorism to acquire ends. Using prostitution for that brews trouble.
But what can we say, feminist and gays have managed to burden families with proof, and they and adulterers are accepted prostitutes already anyways.
Some weapons do not shoot, they suck in.
Prosititution is certainly not 'good,' but it isn't particularly 'evil.'
Is Prostitution ‘Empowering’?
Only until (a) john beats you to death.
Prostitution should be legal so we could get rid of all those abusive pimps and hookers with STD's. America would be better off if they took the Nevada approach of licensing them. I still think it's a terribly degrading profession.
Is sleeping with lots of gross men you wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole if they weren't paying you money empowering? I don't think so.
"Are you a female high school dropout, between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five? Are you tired of lying around in bed all day with nothing to do? Well. you never need get up again, because in six short weeks I can train you to be a high-paying ho. Just think--fifteen hundred dollars a week, without even leading the comfort of your own bedroom. Sound too good to be true? Just send for my new book, 'I Wanna Be a Ho'."
--Velvet Jones (Eddie Murphy)
Moral Absolutes Ping.
There are many articles about the wonders of prostitution, the legitimacy of "sex workers" and their independent life of freedom, and classes teaching stripping, or stripping as a good career for high school girls to contemplate.
All this thanks to feminism. Trade the drudgery and slavery of caring for children and a husband at home for the glamor and freedom of being sexually used by thousands of anonymous men, used up, abused, diseased and worn out by 35 or 40.
It's amazing that they see evil as good and good as evil.
Freepmail me if you want on/off this pinglist.
It's dehumanizing in its own way, but so is much of modern industrial life. You pick your poison. While I would never patronize, I would also not condemn them. I can see how some may believe it is the lesser of evils and respect their choice of how to live their lives. It would be nice to live in a world where such a thing did not exist, but we do not live in that world.
Something has always confused me: why aren't porn stars treated like streetwalkers? If they have some First Amendment exemption from prosecution, why haven't regular prostitutes simply started "be a porn star" movie businesses, filming themselves and their johns "at play" and selling not the sex, but the film?
