As prostitutes get examined 6 Years, 2 Months ago
|
|
can there be one single person in media who is not aware that, by ratio, there are precisely the same amount of people using hookers in media, government, civil service, medicine, plumbing, customs, teaching, legal, cooking and toe nail cutting as there are in charities? And that any reader, viewer or listener with more than one brain cell is aware that this current "scandal" is simply a way to fill up space with "a good story"? Or that the ramifications will damage innocent people and certainly kill a few? I can put hand on heart and state I have never utilised the services of a prostitute. Not my thing. But many do; many have; since time immemorial.

Leaving aside local legalities of prostitution and wider arguments about its moral rectitude, I just think it's a case of fair exchange is no robbery. Presumably these Oxfam workers weren't on duty 24-7 and had some private time. If paying an agreed price for services received in the aftermath of an earthquake amounts to exploitation, then going for a beer or getting a haircut is also exploitative. If it were the case that aid provision was the payment for sex, then that would be a problem, but I haven't read anywhere that that was the situation.
Folks, this hoohah is just another bit of propaganda trying to convince us that affluent, white, middle-class men are the baddies and poor, brown women are the goodies. Apparently sex is some kind of poisonous attack that men do upon women, that the dear flowers could never possibly enjoy and are only acquiescing to under duress or fear of crucifixion (or something). This is nonsense, except in ISIS territory and parts of the third world, about which Oxfam's critics are deafeningly silent.
