Australia is out of step with progressive countries on prostitution : Comments

By Wendy Francis, published 10/9/2015

Can we continue to turn a blind eye to the vast majority of those caught up in prostitution who are not there not by choice, but because they had no other choice.

I thought the regressives in their brainwashing of young girls had made sex so easily available that their would not be a market for prostitution.

"But I believe the more pertinent question should be, is it right to be able to buy a woman for a man's use?"

Why stop at one women?

Reckon his old lady should throw in two for the price of one and a clean hog.

Oh Wendy, there you go, sticking your nose into somebody else's business.

What right do you have to tell someone they are not free to perform the oldest profession in the land? I know sex workers who make a very tidy living, and, they do it by choice and are very choosy as to who they perform for and, they are nit a drain on our overloaded welfare system.

Are you suggesting they give up their chosen work and go on the dole.

What happens to their kids, their partners, their bills? Are you going to chip In?

People need to keep out of other people's business.

Yeah we should all back what rehctub (rectal tub?) is saying.

Think of brothels as finishing schools for drop dead gorgeous blond wives, with very old husbands, on the Gold Coast.

A goils gotta make a livin.

When we look at the illicit drug trade, we consider the addicted the victim. It is the seller of drugs the pusher, that we see as the criminal taking advantage of the victim.

I can see no reason to look at prostitution any differently. The poor addicted victim, the male is being taken advantage of by the pusher, the prostitute. Is it really any more criminal to take advantage of one addicted victim than any other. At least with prostitution, there is usually little long term harm to the victim, so should perhaps not be considered criminal.

I think Wendy has an inflated idea of her own value, & projects that inflated value onto other women. She does not want to see that many women are not capable of earning the living they desire with simple honest work. She refuses to believe that some of these women chose the easy way out in prostitution.

For centauries women obtained the support of one man by marriage. Some may consider sex in marriage is payment for that support. Is there any correlation between the reduced number of fully supported stay at home wives, & the reduction in women bothering to marry.

Is it any less moral for some women to gain the support of many different men in payment for one off sex, than for others in many marriages of convenience or arrangement.

One recently divorced acquaintance was heard to suggest that, "it's a lot easier catching a bit of sex, chasing it around the street, than around a double bed". He was not referring to prostitutes either, but he could have been, & why not, at least they [probably] supply what has been paid for.
