Sex industry

[Alan]

Agree. Your turn:

"I don't know shit about the sex industry. I only like to imagine women who have to sell themselves as pretty and expensive escorts. When I hear prostitution I don't imagine a drugged-up fourteen year-old that doesn't speak the language of the country they took her to, I just imagine Inara from Firefly. Up to this point I've been blaming the victim for not feeling empowered. I have never actually asked a prostitute if this is the life she wants, nor have I even stopped to consider the real-life conditions that makes them sell their bodies."
Admit/keep trying to save face?

"I don't know shit about the sex industry."

True

"I only like to imagine women who have to sell themselves as pretty and expensive escorts."

False

"When I hear prostitution I don't imagine a drugged-up fourteen year-old that doesn't speak the language of the country they took her to, I just imagine Inara from Firefly."

False

False

Last question back on you for being a clever dick

[Alan]

I've already told you I'm active on the fight for sex workers rights on an already infamously violent and dangerous city. Learn to pay attention dipshit.
And 'false' was not an option. You're just trying to save face.

[Saya]

Because CLEARLY I would do nothing to risk losing face

[Kasdeja]

I thought Alan wasn't going to post in this thread...

[Alan]

I love how you even italicized the word that answers your own rhetorical.

[Kasdeja]

You even said it yourself. Now fuck off.

[Saya]

Prostitution is just peachy in Wales!

[JCC]

When did Alan say he wouldn't take part? He said in his first post that he had been refusing to take part up to that point, he didn't say he would continue to afterwards.

[MechaSaya]

Damn Alan, she's got you.

You know that part in that tupac song "hit em' up" where he's like "You motherfucker aint even on my level, I'm gonna let me little homies ride your bitch made asses?"

You want me to get this one, babe?

[Saya]

Yeah, an opinion piece that isn't afraid to say "IT SEEEMS like its getting better" is compelling evidence.

I also like that you reassured me that while black women are being horribly exploited in your area, its okay because white people are having fun sexting.

Fuck you you obnoxious piece of shit

[Elystan]

I take that back

[Versus]

You can't "take it back." This forum's members are expected to take responsibility for their words and actions, like adults.

You can, however, apologize.

And is it asking too much for you to admit that you are wrong until you can provide a stronger argument?

Saya, I apologise for that outburst.

No I'm not wrong but I see now that nobody is willing to believe that 'middle class prostitution' for want of a better term even happens so I think I'm done here.

We do believe it happens. We're telling you that it's not relevant in support of our initial statement that "Prostitution is fucked up" in response to your question "What do you think about prostitution?"

You're trying to imagine a scenario in which the statement "Prostitution is fucked up" is not true.

"Well, what if they get paid enough?"

"Well, what if they work independently?"

"Well, what if it's done willingly, by choice, without the threat of violence or coercion?"

"Well, what if I've seen it work out okay, before?"

And every single time, we've given you an informed and thought out argument of why your scenario should be dismissed when arriving at the original conclusion. You can't formulate an opinion about prostitution while ignoring 99% of it's occurrences.

For some reason, you're taking that as us not acknowledging what you're saying and refusing to discuss it.

I want your opinion on the 1%

[Versus]

Fine. My opinion of the Prostitute Utopia is that it is irrelevant because I am unaware of any characteristics or circumstances therein which can be taken from and applied to positively improve prostitution as a whole.
