WOMEN VS SOCIETY
The worst part about prostitution is that you’re obliged not to sell sex only, but your humanity. That’s the worst part of it: that what you’re selling is your human dignity. Not really so much in bed, but in accepting the agreement – in becoming a bought person. Kate Millett
Prostitution happens to you because of troubles you had. In reality no woman would choose to do that. Catherine Deneuve
Prostitutes don’t sell their bodies, they rent their bodies. Housewives sell their bodies when they get married. Florynce Kennedy
We say that slavery has vanished from European civilization, but this is not true. Slavery still exists, but now it applies only to women and its name is prostitution. Victor Hugo
Writing is like prostitution. First you do it for love, and then for a few close friends, and then for money. Moliere
Why is it immoral to be paid for an act that is perfectly legal if done for free? Gloria Allred
Prostitution means sexual intercourse between a man and a woman aimed at satisfying the man’s sexual and the woman’s economic needs. It is obvious that sexual needs, even in a male dominated system, are not as urgent and important as economic needs which, if not satisfied, lead to disease and death. Yet society considers the woman’s economic need as less vital than the man’s sexual one. Nawal El Saadawi
Prostitution will always exist in every society, so I believe in a fair trade. Open the doors for women to earn their money without having pimps. The worst thing is to criminalize it, because then you open the doors for pimps, criminals, and trading. Michael Glawogger
Have you ever met, have a friend, acquaintance who is in the profession?
In my eight-plus decades, I have met several sex workers and to my delight they were as human as you and I. The same needs, wants, desires, ambitions. Some highly educated, some with little or no education. Open, honest, and full of hope.
Beat me with a six foot 2×4, but I prefer a delightful latte, social discourse, chin wagging, chit chat with the lower rungs of society to many women I have called friend and had casual relationships.
What say ye?
I am interested in your opinion.
