As I recall I was asked under whose authority I spoke and i replied my own. I have no authority other than that and I have no expertise in the issue.
Which is a good way to start to sound foolish, but not when care is taken. You, unfortunately, wouldn't know how to be careful if it came up and bit you in the assteroid.
Just an opinion and a desire to see a reduction in the assault of children.
First bit of foolishness: The idea that, if you attack prostitution, you attack child abuse. A foolish backwards way of handling the situation. This has been explained to you, but foolishly, you have yet to even attempt to digest that point. So I leave you to your foolishness and move on.
I recognize that men can desire children.
Second bit of foolishness: Seemingly equating prostitution with child molestation, or the willingness to pay to molest a child. There is a fundamental difference between paying a grown woman for sexual favors, and paying a child for sexual favors. Most reasonable people in the world do recognize a difference between the two, but you do not seem to be among them.
I recognize that if they are too young or unready for sex then sex can destroy their whole life.
D'uh. Join the rest of the world, outside of certain pedophilia rings. Though you are, once again, confusing the issues.
To a man it is just another piece.
Are you a man or a woman, out of curiosity? I find it intriguing how you continually speak as if ALL men consider women a certain way, as if ALL men think a certain way, as if ALL men are pedophiles, as if ALL men objectify women. It's an intriguing notion, this idea of ALL men being the stereotype that you have set out for them, whereas a good majority of men are against pedophilia, or child abuse, or sexual abuse, or rape.
The question then remains:
If you are a man, then are you perhaps projecting? After all, if ALL men consider children to be "just another piece", then that would include you if, indeed, you are a male.
If it is projection, that would be intriguing. I'd also be curious as to your history, especially with young girls...
To the victim that weapon is truly a weapon. Not a fair fight at all. Men are to take pride in a conquest, not shame and the inability to look into some other fathers eyes.
All of which is irrelevant, as it has little, if anything, to do with the subject.
If a prostitute does not come from an abused childhood, and came into her profession willingly, then you would have no problem with them, apparently. But if they are a result of child abuse, then you have a problem with them, and would wish to discriminate against and attack the prostitute. In short, making a victim of a victim to feel better about your holier-than-thou self.
However, the issue isn't prostitution here, it's child abuse. It's selling children. Two totally different issues, both of which almost everyone -- MAN AND WOMAN -- are against.
Quid pro quo.
Either get the issues right, or be ridiculed some more for your foolishness.
