I have to come back to this:
Why do you add "for financial gain" in there?
I mean, there are power dynamics at play in any social interaction. If the power dynamics between men and women make all prostitution rape, then wouldn't this make all sex between them rape whether the woman gets paid or not? Power dynamics don't go away just because money isn't changing hands.

Careful. We're heading fast into Andrea Dworkin territory here.
I believe you were asked before about if the female prostitute was white and middle class, yet the client was a black lower class man, would she still be being exploited?
I already mentioned her. Too late.
So women's inferior status is inherent to being a woman? Same for a man's superior status?
Is every black similarly inferior to whites? Where do Asians fit in this pecking order?
Does individual variation ever play a role in your philosophy, or are people defined entirely by group membership?
(I know it's a barrage of questions, but I think they'll help define your views.)
Naw.....such "unrealistic" things do happen. (Not the meep-meep stuff.)I was asked if a middle class white woman prostituted herself to a lower class black male would that be exploitation.
It's an unrealistic question. It's like asking me if an alien from the planet Phobo were to exchange meeps-meeps with an alien from the planet Gooba for gloops would that be exploitation.
I live in a reality without truth, where even "facts" are questionable.We live in a racist, homophobic, misogynistic society were money rules. Sorry if you don't like it but that is the truth.
Which reality do you live in?
No fair! You type faster than me! :computer:

We each have only our unique perspective.
Your reality is quite foreign to me.
I see much greater diversity, with your description of the world being only a component of a larger picture.
I sed to believe everything she said when I was younger. It's easy to when your young and angry. It's like she channels alot of angry and it just sucks you in.
I never thought of it that way.So you're Blanche duBois?
Don't take this parenthetical aside the wrong way.I agree. Her and Mackinnon both incite quite a bit, yes?
I walk mainly down the same road that sex-positive feminists walk. It's done my stomach acid a lot of good, personally.

If you don't understand what "middle class white woman", "prostitution", and "lower class black male" mean, then exactly what are you arguing in this thread?
I never thought of it that way.
(I still don't. I distrust kindness in strangers....especially those bearing candy.)
Do you believe that there is an inerrant objective morality?
From what source does yours spring?

When I see you post, the phrase "evolved mind" pops in my head.
One more strange & sappy comment....
Humans would do well to emulate you.
I know what those terms mean, it's just that the hypothetical has no basis in reality and I won't answer it.
