Hello all,
Nowhere in the article are "Feminists" mentioned.
Even in Canada where there is more tolerance:
A 2006 opinion polls have shown that 68% of Canadians consider prostitution to be "immoral" (76% of women and 59% of men). [52] A 2009 online survey of a representative national sample of 1,003 Canadian adults conducted by Angus Reid Public Opinion showed that prostitution was considered "morally acceptable" by 42% of Canadians, but there were differences by age and gender. Young people were the most critical of prostitution: only 36% of those aged 18–34 considered prostitution "morally acceptable", compared to 45% of those aged 35–54, and 44% of those older than 55. 29% of women saw prostitution as acceptable, compared to 56% of men. [53]
The opposed groups clearly aren't all Feminists...not even close!!!
DD, you are so single-minded about Feminists being the cause of this crackdown that you seem to think they are the only ones motivated to seek such laws. As your posts on every social and political issue seems to indicate that you are a die-hard Conservative, it is interesting that you blame what you consider a Liberal organization (Feminists) for the attempts to stop prostitution, and deliberately ignore religious and political Conservatives whose moral stance is vehemently opposed to prostitution. It's hard to believe the only element you cite against legal prostitution in the U.S. is Feminists when you can't possibly miss how Conservatives, Evangelists being the most vociferous, are bitterly against it as well.
Why you continually insist on acting like Feminists are the only ones against prostitution and constantly insinuating that the business is just a safe and wholesome institution, especially when every member of this board who has posted in a currently active thread admits it's constant risks and dangers, is both perplexing and disturbing.
incredible,
