(20,219 posts)The thing I'm seeing is that, yeah, it's fine if both parties are making informed, uncoerced choices.
These decisions should be based on self and worldly awareness.
Therefore, if you're seeking a willing person to offer you "product", you, as a consumer claiming to be not only savvy, but progressive, have an ethical responsibility to know what you're buying.
As a conscientious liberal, you truly should concern yourself with the quality and sourcing of the goods.
For example:
Are they Organic? i.e. Healthy, physically AND mentally?
Where were they sourced?
Is it a competent, adult woman who independently made a reasoned decision to sell sex? Is she competent to make such decisions? Or was there an outside "agent" luring, defrauding her?
Are there Labor Issues? Is she an underpaid worker for a larger entity which skims off too much off profits and doesn't pay or provide benefits to their employees?
These are just a few of the deeper concerns that you, as a progressive Democrat, are responsible to respect.
Your impact on society is acted out through your decisions. ...what you do, however independent it seems to you, does actually have larger repercussions in the lives around you.
Do you, or do you not want to have a positive impact? To create Good? Or to fuck it? That's a question we all have to ask ourselves, actually...........Always.
