Unfortunately you haven`t met the right women.
I could introduce you to several women who would change your mind.
The problem is not the women, it's men (not all, but many), acting selfishely with the young women they meet, looking after their onw need regardlees of the impact of their actions on her, or the way they treat them (condescending, abusing, selfishness, rudeness, etc).
SF,
You seem more focused on the lower end of the business whereas I am talking about the market and higher end segments. I don't believe your characterization is valid or accurate and it kind of reflects the judgments that led to the enactment of C36. If it's what you believe you shouldn't be posting on MERB but should be working for that Justice Minister (forget the name of that tool but he looked like John Lennon) that rallied for C36. You spout exactly the same kind of garbage and nonsense he did and that is why we have C36, because of people like you who elect and support tools like that dude.
Please refrain from comments like "people like you". This is very condescending and innaproprate. In my initial comment I was laughing at the "good for social skills" idea, and I don't think I deserved to be attacked personally. Let's keep this a "discussion" where we all share our thoughts and opinions would you?
I'm not focused on the lower end business, but this business in general. In the 15 or so years, I have met hundreds of women, from the lower end to the high end, from agency girls to MPs, to independents. I have heard so many stories it's almost unbeleivable what these women go through sometimes! You're right about the higher end segments: They are more "mature", experienced, and they have more control. They can filter "bad apples" by their gut feeling, and therefore have less bad experiences. But when I read comments about this biz being good for social skills, it's obviously about NEW girls, not experienced one (who are all already at the top of their social skills!
). Girls starting in this biz are VERY MUCH at risks, as they don't start as independents right off. They don't know the ropes, how to deal with (and even expect) bad behavior, they could be hired by questionable agencies or group of people, etc. Here on MERB we tend to be seeing the SP world through pink glasses, but mafia operated or other questionable agencies exist too, street gangs, street prostitution, traficking, etc. Denying that is hiding your head in the sand.
Bill C36 goes too far in my opinion, and not necessarily in the right direction. But even if it was much different, it would still have been imperfect one way or another. Damned if you do, damned if you don't!
Anyhow, this is my last post on the subject.
