(82,383 posts)Prostitution is exploiting the woman. How do you not see that as a transaction? You're pretending there might be a relationship there that "mitigates loneliness?" If they really were just lonely, they'd be better off talking to somebody, which would surely mitigate that way more than impersonal sex.
The Boxer was obviously a dummy, considering non prostitute sex to be an "offer," misogyny is that women are just for sex and it's unfair if none make you "offers" so there should be women available as products you just pay for.
This reminds me of the Eliot Rodgers debate on DU about being entitled to sex. No one is. If you don't get it, that does not mean there should be a class of people whose function is to act as things you can rent for it.
In a society where women really could "express their sexuality" there'd be no prostitutes, as sex would be for women as well as men.
