Vice King v Vice Queen

Do you think it is sociable more acceptable for a woman to run a brothel more than a man and do you think that the penalites handed down from the courts reflect this?

Because the majority of escorts are female, it is probably socially more acceptable for a woman. There is less of an impression of exploitation. As for the courts attitude, I suspect there is generally less harsher penalties handed out to women, that is just a general observation not specifically related to the brothel business.

IMO women running a brothel sits a little bit better than men. If I heard of a man running one I'd immediately assume that the women working there are doing so under duress, granted a female can do the same but that's just the way I think about it anyway. Not too sure what the penalties handed down to males v's females is when caught doing this, but in general I think courts tend to go lighter on women for various reasons. Maybe society as a whole doesn't think it's right to jail women???

Definatly woman cos she could be working there and a man can look like a pimp

Other than myself there were hardly any women who ran brothels by themselves when I was on the go; there was usually a man behind them, and the courts and Garda knew this.

Of course we all know the answer is to decriminalise this business, then this thread becomes redundant, and society shows a maturity unseen up to this.

I seem to remember a tv programm some years back where some sex workers were saying that women pimps are in fact much worst than men.Having a better knowledge and understanding of the woman anatomy and psychology, they can excerce pressure and coercion in a way that men would not consider.
As for physical violence , a male pimp applies it himself, while a female will do it herself or with her minions, ending to the same result.

The majority of brothels in continental Europe are run by women.
