Sex Work: States Weigh the “Nordic Model” vs. Full Decriminalization of Prostitution.
Maybe one of these days soon, we can wrest control from the insane fundamentalist idiots and people can live their lives the way adults should be able to...with personal choice, agency and autonomy. One problem with the above article and the agenda against it is relationships between human beings evolve and change. I know some people still attempt to "connect" sex with love and cling to the notion sex should only be between one male and one female, within the confines of a marriage, sanctioned by God and all that. Humans have always had sex, booty calls, mated, hookups, and this was and is based on carnal sexual urges, reproduction desires, security, trade, cash and profit, where being "in love" has nothing to do with it.
This notion that sex and relationships is going to be like it was depicted in the heavily censored era of the 1950s...you know, June Cleaver, is not going to happen. In the future the majority of people might be pansexual and few will feel the desire to wed and stay in one relationship for life. More women use some version of artificial insemination, coupled with the fact that we no longer need males for financial support (in the West mostly thus far) could spell the end of marriage as we know it.
More women make porn for other women which dispels the myth the far right, and some hard core feminists have, that all porn makes men rapists, and the fact that sex workers exist contributes to that. Because they are still not blaming rapists for rape, but rather porn, street walkers, escorts, women in tight jeans, short skirts and just women in general. Some still think the best way to reduce rape is to require women to dress modestly. Rather than blaming prostitutes, porn, short skirts, tight jeans or whatever attire we prefer...how about blaming and arresting the barbarians that rape women?
It's just sex. We all like it. Some more, some less, some like vanilla, some like kink, some don't mind paying for it. As long as its between consenting adults, what we do, who we do it with, what we watch or read...is none of anyone elses business.
On the same topic, why do some people assume because a female has no problem with nudity and has accepted and embraced a love for her body, is somehow automatically an airhead, vapid slut, or a victim? Might this be true in some cases, yes, in most or all cases, no.
When we hear people talk about entrepreneurs, job creators, self starters, women in power, women breaking glass ceilings, women who are empowered and empowering other women, lets look beyond the mainstream corporate world. Most women in the so called sex industry are motivated, ambitious, have business acumen and average or above intelligence. Many enjoy sex, are not ashamed of their bodies, want to run their own lives and not be at the mercy of some husband or boss in the patriarchal business world. Most are honest, make money, support the economy, pay taxes, are charitable and use their resources to help society and to empower other women and act in a benevolent manner...with or without clothes on. Rather than casting aspersions, making disparaging statements, making them criminals and locking them up, lets be supportive of them...and protect them.

Okay, this helps to explain...quite a few things. :)
An intelligence crisis could undermine our problem-solving capacities and dim the prospects of the global economy. People are getting dumber. That's not a judgment; it's a global fact. In a host of leading nations, IQ scores have started to decline.

The End. :)
I think someone needs to tell the lawmakers that not all porn is like it was in the seventies and eighties, with cheesy storylines and a woman getting reamed over and over again. A lot of it is a woman with a go-pro and a ring light fully clothed giving a guy permission to wank it. Some of it is student cam girls who have no problem showing their tits to a webcam as a fast and easy way to start chipping away at their student debt.
ReplyDeleteYour suggestions of autonomy and accountability are so crazy they might just work! No gods, no masters.
Many of our lawmakers are *in* their seventies and eighties, and nearing their nineties. Senator Grassley is running for reelection, 88 years old, this would be his 8th 6-year term in office, so he'd be nearly 95 by the end of that term. Some are asleep, literally, sleeping in hearings, some are senile and so far removed from the reality of most people lives and modern day society, they're useless and in some ways, dangerous.
