Why Men who use prostitutes can be as dangerous as Larry Murphy

[bhoywonder]

i read this article and i thought that it put forward a strong arguement to legalise prostitution. sure, take it out of the pimps hands, stop the trafficing, provide more health checks. if susan mckay is so certain that prostitutes are under threat from men who use them and their 'male sexual agression' surely legalisation would be the first obvious step in offering more protection to women in this underground industry? she seems to be more interested in pointing the finger, in establishing victim/perpetrator roles. tougher laws will only drive it even further underground. and that would be of no help to anyone at all

I'm giving up punting for good after reading this (although I didn't read it).



You're all scum!!!!

"Studies show that men who use prostitutes regularly are more likely to be violent to women with whom they are in a relationship. Men who use prostitutes are not men who respect women."

thats fairly extreme to say the least... ... where the hell did they come up with that????

Studies like that are absolutely worthless, not worth the electricity it took to display them on the screen. The studies were probably funded by an organization like Ruhama. You can fiddle with statistics to "show" almost anything, it's ridiculously easy. If we found all the details of this study then it might be worth something, but there are no details at all. For example they might have included really old people in the study who are unlikely to go to prostitutes as much and unlikely to commit violence against women. There's all kinds of ways they can twist things, and they've often been found to have been straight out lying.

Even if it were true, it wouldn't mean anything. Males are more likely to commit crime than females. Young people are more likely to be violent than old people. People who eat a fry for breakfast might be statistically more likely to be a murderer than those that don't. Those statistics don't really mean anything.

I dont discuss Ruhama anymore. They have no credibility. If the industry was legalised in the morning they would have to find real jobs. They endanger the escorts working in the industry through gross exaggeration and driving trafficking further underground so that the real trafficking victims are further isolated.

A man being violent to a woman has nothing to do with escorts or anything else. It has to do with the fact that he is either a nasty cowardly cunt or not.

the ppl that carry out these studies are the same as Ruhama. Only for their studies they would have to find real jobs. Think about it, they get expenses, gov funding etc to carry out their studies. In other words they do f'all.

All of these special interest group have the same stuff in common. They pick one area and come down hard on that making themselves look like knights in shining Armour whereas the real reason is that they make the issue appear greater than it is because they rely on its existence to continue on ,in their nice little comfy number.

If Ruhama were really concerned about women ,why the focus on just escorts? Where were they when that rapist scumbag got out lately? nowhere to be seen or heard.

well said.....

70% of statistics were found to be inacurate. But with opinions like that it makes seeing escorts a taboo subject. Only 4 or 5 of my close friends know i do.

I would agree. Excellent points Westside, well made.

Heres another statistic for you. Most of the time the ppl that do statistics are asleep doing them. Check out the good ole CSO. Go and check out their offices but dont make too much noise there though.

i will say one thing about Ruhama. If an escort genuinely felt that she would like to give it up and wanted advice on obtaining help to do it then fine. A street girl or a girl funding a bad habit like drink or drugs who wants to fix herself up and Ruhama helping her then fine but they should keep the issue at where it is and not based on what suits them at any given time.

Thats just hypocrisy and a dangerous one at that for escorts.
