Highlight:

who raises their daughter to be a prostitute? [View all] CTyankee Aug 2014 OP

I am guessing no one is going to step up here to defend their daughter's "right" to become Squinch Aug 2014 #1

No shit BainsBane Aug 2014 #6

then they need to come face to face with this question and stop demonizing and slandering CTyankee Aug 2014 #11

Not a chance BainsBane Aug 2014 #12

well, segregationists tried that, too, but it was overcome. CTyankee Aug 2014 #14

I dont want my daughter to work in porn Travis_0004 Aug 2014 #2

You have to take the world as it is, and not as you wish it was el_bryanto Aug 2014 #7

and so, what is your response? Do you align yourself with reform of a system that in your CTyankee Aug 2014 #9

I think you focus on other issues el_bryanto Aug 2014 #20

I'm all for that but let's go further and say we should also focus and frame all of this in CTyankee Aug 2014 #21

What would you enshrine as the jewel in the crown? nt el_bryanto Aug 2014 #26

Feminism. If people understood it for what it REALLY stands for they would be all for it. CTyankee Aug 2014 #35

I think when those who defend prostitution think about it, the women are the "other"... hlthe2b Aug 2014 #8

they have to be reminded then. CTyankee Aug 2014 #10

+1 Little Star Aug 2014 #16

Exactly. Little Star Aug 2014 #15

I think they also have a fantasy that prostitution is all high class call girls Kali Aug 2014 #53

oh, god, that's funny...and so true! (I won't elaborate). CTyankee Aug 2014 #58

I think that also happens in discussions about porn. F4lconF16 Aug 2014 #59

Or their wife? theHandpuppet Aug 2014 #13

Especially if she says "Honey, it's what I want to do. Besides, I can make a lot of money!" CTyankee Aug 2014 #17

So women should make major life decisions based on what other people want? phil89 Aug 2014 #18

OK, so answer the question. CTyankee Aug 2014 #19

It doesn't MATTER what I would want for her. I just don't think that way. phil89 Aug 2014 #33

The answer is "only someone in extraordinary financial hardship", of course. Half-Century Man Aug 2014 #22

This isn't a question of loving them regardless. It is a question of focus. CTyankee Aug 2014 #23

I guess I misunderstood the OP. Half-Century Man Aug 2014 #30

You seem to imply that economic coercion denies one a complete freedom of choice, yes? LanternWaste Aug 2014 #29

It can and has. Half-Century Man Aug 2014 #31

Yes BrotherIvan Aug 2014 #51

and...what...? CTyankee Aug 2014 #57

When all those in favor of prostitution argue it's "two consenting adults" BrotherIvan Aug 2014 #60

Yes, I understand the issue, but what would do in response to this urgent call to CTyankee Aug 2014 #62

I think you think I am disagreeing with you BrotherIvan Aug 2014 #63

glad to have you on our side! CTyankee Aug 2014 #65

My username is literary BrotherIvan Aug 2014 #67

Honestly... MadrasT Aug 2014 #24

In answer to your last question, we should know the answer: make feminism the driving CTyankee Aug 2014 #25

I'm guessing the answer to that would be Erich Bloodaxe BSN Aug 2014 #27

Uh, I still await an answer...I am a bit in shock...I can't believe he is truly threatening me. CTyankee Aug 2014 #40

I could be wrong but, from what I have seen him post I think he is speaking more to the ones Tuesday Afternoon Aug 2014 #41

He really wants to "punch the shit out of" me? Really? CTyankee Aug 2014 #43

If you drive a profession underground, you get criminality and more disreputable people bluestateguy Aug 2014 #61
