I love it when people turn sex into a morality issue. It’s also really funny when people make all kinds of unfounded presumptions about prostitutes and their experiences, with out ever actually having talked to one single prostitute<\/span>. Is there exploitation in the sex industry? Absolutely. Is that a serious fucking problem? Yes. However, arresting the women who are being exploited is a crime in itself. Putting someone in jail does not rehabilitate them, it does not empower them or distance them from their pimps- just like putting people in jail for drugs does not “cure” them- in fact, it does the exact opposite.<\/p>\n A group, called Citizens Against Trafficking (CAT)<\/a>,<\/span><\/span> are seeking to make in-door prostitution in Rhode Island illegal. There is, in fact, a bill before the Rhode Island legislature which they are preparing to vote on. CAT is the creation of two so-called feminists- one of whom lives in Massachusetts, and the other who is a professor of Women’s Studies. They claim to be experts on the issue of sex work, but have never heard (until recently) of any of the organizations which actually research sex workers and their experiences. These groups are, in no particular order of importance: SWOP<\/a> (Sex Worker Outreach Project), SWP<\/a> (Sex Worker Project of the Urban Justice Center, who have actually published two studies on sex workers and their demographics), and $pread Magazine<\/a> (an all sex worker run and written publication). In fact, in a statement made by one of the ladies, she claims that an editor of $pread is a professor at a local university (Wha? No one on the staff seemed to know what she was talking about).<\/p>\n These “feminists” think (just like the Prohibitionists) that by making something illegal, you will eradicate it. Of course, it is really a transparent attempt to impose their own sense of morality on the rest of the population- as most of these “feminists” also see sex work as detrimental to women, and a blight on society as a whole. This is not true, and based on their own second-wave feminist bullshit ethics that have been thrown away by most people in the field of women’s studies. But, by using scare tactics, and appealing to soccer moms who think there’s going to be a brothel in every schoolyard, these bitches might actually get their way!<\/p>\n You know what’s morally and ethically unjust? Using a marginalized population as a platform for your own fucked up, misinformed crusade. It pisses me off when people who are the loudest get their way in the face of reason and compassion.<\/p>\n Make it so that doesn’t happen, by adding your support here:<\/p>\n Sex In The Public Square<\/a><\/p>\n Also, see what actual research reveals about sex work and trafficking here: Subcribe, or make a donation to $pread Magazine<\/a>. They need it, trust me.<\/p>\n See what some ignorant bitch has to say about an industry she knows nothing about here: BTW- What the hell is a “sex radical”, and where do I sign up?<\/p>\n xoxo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I love it when people turn sex into a morality issue.
