I should point out that on another thread one of the "feminists" stated in so many words (what follows is a direct quote) that "
a)ll I'm saying is that our priority as a society, IMO, should be protecting those who are victimized. And if that infringes on some people who want to sell their bodies or buy access to other people's bodies, oh well."
The unspoken presumption, of course, being that those who engage in prostitution are victims by default, and further that those who desire to 'sell their wares', be they ever-so-unvictimized in their own opinion, even if they want to shouldn't be allowed to do so because they're victimizing themselves without even knowing it and that's Bad For Them and Bad For Society.
What that amounts to is one of DU's oh-so-vaunted "feminists" telling us that no, there are some forms of sexual activity between two (or more!) consenting adults- male and female- that should not be allowed. That's fucking bullshit and I'm not going to tolerate it.
If the quote above doesn't express a common 'ick yuk' response toward and a desire for control over others' sexual activities, I don't know what does.
