Some years ago, I read a book called ''Confederates in the Attic'' about how the civil war is still very alive for the peole down south. I highly recommand it. I'll go as far as to say that the war had little to do about freeing the slaves. Even if the South had won the war they would have...

In other words, more than that 95% of potential clients are completely uninterested in 16yo girls. This is actually a good proof that clients are mostly not ''pervs''.

So what? It's not illegal for a gang member to have a drink in a bar. It really sounds like a lame excuse for some repression.

Personnellement, je ne trouve pas les criardes hystériques très attirantes. On dirait plutôt qu'elle a besoin d'un exorcisme.

So long as there is sex, you'd think people would want to hear it, even if it is only a happy story. That's how she uses the media, not the other way around. She works for one of the local Radfem abolitionist groups supporting the Swedish models. This means she not only speaks for all escorts...

It also leads to stereotypes and profiling, such as thinking a guy is an abusive pimp simply because he's waiting for her in a car. According to this, even Mr Harper is trafficked victim because there's always a car to pick him up and big guys are always staying close to him. The truth is that...

I'm curious to see if they arrested anyone apart from those Femen protesters...

Wow Tiannas, you saw 3 clients and none of them got arrested in the big crack-down?

Yes, it was also posted in the sticky thread about news articles. The police did not say they were going to do more than usual and certainly not a ''crack-down''. They said they have a new team for human trafficking, but nothing to do with the F1 or sex work in general. The only thing really...

Typical journalism, where ''crack-down'' means ''monitoring as usual''.

I love the Fact Checker. Here's another good one, although it's already been debunked a long time ago (yet politicians still use it): The bogus claim that 300,000 U.S. children are ‘at risk’ of sexual exploitation...

Here's a good review about the unreliability of trafficking ''statistics''. http://traffickingroundtable.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Issue-Paper-3-Fact-or-Fiction-What-Do-We-Really-Know-About-Human-Trafficking.pdf

C'est sur que ce n'est pas un métier à commencer trop jeune. Idéalement il faut que la personne soit expérimentée et à l'aise. Mais juste parce que quelque chose n'est pas une bonne idée, ça ne veut pas dire que ça devrait être illégal. Soyons réaliste: si l'age légal était de 25 ans (ou même...

I would add that for most clients, this is always something we think about on some level. Abolitionist think the law will ''responsibilize'' clients to the problems, but we are already hyper-aware of this. Many client will avoid providers that have the smallest details that can be interpretted...

It's just the Swedish flu. It spreads quickly but I don't think it will be terminal. In the coming decade I predict a wave of decriminalization in the infected countries.

In general, I think the best thing to do is to decrease the stigma so that they feel more confident to go get help without being judged. It's bad to have an abusive relationship, but when they are in a life that is seen as shameful and criminal, it's even more difficult for them to escape it...

It portrays these worse cases as the norm and claim that they import and brainwash thousands of immigrants into the country every year (most of them of course less then 12 years old). It's like doing a movie on the Shafia family and making up fake statistics to make it sound like a documentary...

There are only very few people that would deny abuse happens. That's the point; it's just like a form of domestic violence. The problem is ''documentaries'' trying to convince people that this is inherent to the job and unavoidable. I didn't see that specific movie, but from what I've heard it's...

I love everything about that movie. Recently I watched The Grand Budapest Hotel (on Netflix). The concierge, Mr Gustave, is a prostitute of sorts, providing the BF experience to very rich and very old ladies. It's a greatly entertaining movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bTbW70umbQ

I think Joy Smith used politics to advance her moral agenda, while MacKay used moral rhetoric to advance his political carreer. Joy is probably much worst, because she's going to continue her crusade in other ways. MacKay probably doesn't care about the issue and was just saying what he was paid...
