What misogyny? [View all] BainsBane Aug 2014 OP

it is really depressing that we keep having to explain this over and over and. . . niyad Aug 2014 #1

Right. Weren't you the one who posted the OP in HOF BainsBane Aug 2014 #3

If I did it was a long time ago - but it is certainly possible. el_bryanto Aug 2014 #5

Probably best to ask the sex workers themselves shaayecanaan Sep 2014 #148

where do you think this is coming from? redruddyred Sep 2014 #149

Your post is probably one of the most misogynistic things I've read here... shaayecanaan Sep 2014 #150

and suggesting that prostitution is an acceptable profession redruddyred Sep 2014 #154

The end of child labor? shaayecanaan Sep 2014 #159

OK so children's lives were made horrible by child labor laws because they couldn't work anymore gollygee Sep 2014 #160

Yes shaayecanaan Sep 2014 #161

OK so you're talking about American child labor laws being bad because children can't work gollygee Sep 2014 #162

I'm not sure if you're being deliberately obtuse... shaayecanaan Sep 2014 #164

actually, the social safety net is failing our children redruddyred Sep 2014 #169
