House Dem: Global Warming Could Force Women to Trade Sex for Food

A senior House Democrat has once again issued an apocalyptic warning that climate change will hit women harder than men, and that it could drive millions of poor women to engage in “transactional sex” in order to provide food and water for their families.

Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) proposed a resolution on Wednesday that said as the climate changes, it will cause food and water scarcity around the world. That will create pressures on poor women in particular, since they are often charged with growing food and collecting water for their families.

As resources dwindle, it could force many women to barter sexual favors for food and water, the resolution stated.

“[F]ood insecure women with limited socioeconomic resources may be vulnerable to situations such as sex work, transactional sex, and early marriage that put them at risk for HIV, STIs, unplanned pregnancy, and poor reproductive health,” it read.

The resolution concluded by saying Congress must recognize the “disparate impacts of climate change on women,” and must encourage the use of “gender-sensitive frameworks in developing policies to address climate change.”

Lee introduced a similar resolution in the last Congress, but it didn’t go anywhere. Lee said in 2013 that her resolution is meant to remind policymakers that more women need to be included in discussions about how to respond to the changing climate.

Copy of her resolution at link. Well Well Well, looks the enviros finally have a token Black to perpetuate the man-made global warming climate change myth. Isn't it odd that ever since the enviro movement took hold in the 60's, started by a bunch of WHITE, for the most part, women, and immortalized in song by another WHITE woman, Joni Mitchell, Big Yellow Taxi, it's been so lily White? Is it by accident or design? Let's get real, when was the last time a "Brother" saved a whale? Or a "Sister" saved a polar bear from the supposedly melting ice caps? You would think the Sierra Club, Friends of the Earth, etc were White's only clubs. Hell, I've seen more diversity at a NASCAR race.

Is Barbara Lee trying to convert Bill Clinton to anti GW side?

[Foundahardheadedwoman]

Is that supposed to be a bad thing? Now stocking up on soup beans and rice.

[Cicero]

If there’s a food shortage, it will be because of the ethanol scam and all the environmental regulations.

But I’m sure that Barry and Michelle will have plenty to eat.

[piroque]

I’ll just keep my food to myself.

Socialism creates many more hookers than climate does.

Venezuela has an excellent climate, but I guarantee there are middle class Venezuelan women right now who are trading sex for food.

[Mastador1]

I have heard that a freezing winter can force women to trade sex for food too! Funny though it’s seems to be the other way around for men.
