(35,441 posts)You bring straw man after straw man after straw man into your posts largely because you do not have an answer to the premise of any argument, at least not a cogent one.
No one on DU has ever argued in favor of child prostitution nor trafficking of anyone into the sex industry nor any other industry. BTW, more people, including children, are trafficked to work as farm laborers than any other profession. Yet, you bring up trafficking and child prostitution into every single argument to bolster your weak position.
You cannot, and refuse to accept, that there are women, and men, who willingly go into sex work because they do not have an issue with it and actually like the work. They don't fit into your argument of being abused as children or economically deprived or lack other opportunities in life. They do it because they like it and refusing them of their right to make that choice is misogynistic on your part.
Finally, my post was about indirect payments for sexual favors. Eighty year old Donald Sterling bought his mistress expensive cars and condos in exchange for sexual services. This happens all of the time, and I don't see a difference between direct and indirect payments.
That was my argument, but you drag in all of these other irrelevant points to my argument in order to "win" the debate because you cannot address the main point of my argument.
