No,
that's a generalization. The reason I agree with other people (not the other way around) is that they are using facts, and they are the same facts I've found in my own research.
I'm reading into the woman's words exactly what is there: she is making prostitutes a "lesser". Not smart/adult/human enough to consent. Sex with them is a crime because they are not smart/adult/human enough to consent. Victim-women that need responsible adult guidance. That's a lesser person, no matter how you want to twist it. It's adults reduced to the level of children.
Even the emphasis on women, in an industry 20% male, is telling, because it's easier to convince an audience that women can't make a decision and need to be guided.
Hasn't anyone but me read Bernays? This is propaganda. It's feeding on the worst parts of human emotion and conditioning to make an unjust cause into a heroic one.
I think what you prefer is to converse with people who don't disagree. You won't address the links I've posted. That tells me a lot.
Have a nice day.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
