(10,362 posts)We know that rape is largely accepted in the military, they are told by their commanders to shut up and the rapist gets away. The last mining disaster (Upper Big Branch) was no accident, it occurred because the owner didn't give a shit about worker safety. A conclusion that was reached by government investigators. This distinction is bogus.
Red, seriously, the alternative for these women is a McJob. If you really want these women to be safe, support legalization and regulation so that
1) Sex workers can report rape and assault without fear of arrest and
2) It can be overseen by a regulatory body to prevent abuse
The above is the only logical thing to do. Making sex work illegal is a medieval, moralistic approach that western European countries are abandoning as ineffective.
Red = illegal, blue/green = legal
