Prostitution Should Be Legalized

[Smart_Guy]

Maybe I worded my post poorly. But it doesn't change what is important. Keeping people safe trumps moral judgements over victim-less crimes every time in my book.

Understood.

I apologize if I got carried away in my tone.

I believe making it as a business is filthy.

Why? If business isn't immoral, and sex isn't immoral, why would sex as a business be immoral?
It seems kind of arbitrary.

It's socialist prudery....the fear that someone somewhere is having fun and making money.

I would defend equal pay for equal work if that were what women wanted. Equal pay for taking years at a time off for having kids is not exactly the same thing and that is what I hear women complain about. Is the current system fair? Of course not. But then it isn't fair that women are often given leave to spend with their new born kids while men are told they have to work.

I think a fair system would be lovely. But that would leave employers in a seriously bad situation.

Don't you get paternity leave in the USA.?
perhaps they think men would just take the leave and let the women do all the work looking after the family.

Prostitution is rarely a victimless crime. Most prostitutes are controlled by criminals and have a pimp.

Because it's dealing with women as a sex object, pay to use it and to enjoy your dick.
Looks like a poetry.

That's along the lines of a tautology.....
If criminalized, then criminals will be doing it.

Are you kidding? We don't even get maternity leave. Parental leave in the US is: quit your job or be fired, have one parent stay with the kid until it is old enough for day care, then try to find a new job somewhere else and probably for less pay because you've been out of the work place for too long.
Yeah, we're progressive like that.

I remember my wife and I having dinner at Restaurant Blauw aan de Wal, a superb restaurant located in the red-light district of Amsterdam. I asked our waiter what he thought about the legalized prostitution. He indicated that it was miserable for the women involved and that there existed a behind-the-scenes infrastructure that was even worse.

Huh.....I know many gals who had maternity leave....in Americastan, not just Revoltistan.
It's quite common.

That was for free.

It's not guaranteed though. And it's usually pretty brief. Compared to similarly developed countries, parental leave in the US is woefully inadequate.

Much better than nothing.

Even our Prime Minister Cameron took two weeks paid maternity leave.

It's true. I mean paid leave for couples? Sounds great but how do you pull that off?
