22:53 About prostitution, I can’t bear anymore these expressions made from :
« buying » + « sex »
= sex-trade, sexual exploitation, « customers » who « buy sex » or even who « buy women » …
1) Prostitution is not « sex », it’s not a sexual practice where the money could be a fantasy … it’s violence. Money is real, it’s the reason why the woman “consents” to what is done to her.
Prostitution is sex only for men. Seeing prostitution as a form of sexuality is the point of view of the rapist (he desires what happens, and he enjoys it). From the point of view of the woman, it’s sexual violence (threat, brutality, painful practices, forced invasions …). Consent is not the expression of freedom (free choice, free sexuality) because it has never been the expression of desire. Consent is surrender.
2) If it’s violence, what characterizes prostitution is not the exchange of money. The problem is not the business. Would you describe a genocide as a « bone trade ? »; or colonization as a “cultural trade”? Where lies the ethical, political and legal emergency ? in exploitation or in destruction of human beings ? And when these humans are targeted because of a condition of birth, is it exploitation or an act of genocide?
Prostitution is not exploitation, the « big deal » is not a trade! It’s a system of crimes against women & girls. And one of these abuses consists in turning it into business. Organizing prostitution is selling to other aggressors the right to commit these crimes.
Money here is not the proof of exploitation. Money here is not “money” (= the value of the “service”). Money, here, is a weapon, a way to obtain compliance, a tool of coercion. So money is the proof of premeditated rape.
Talking about prostitution, is talking about systematic organization of rape and male sadism.
It’s not a big fraud. Women don’t feel robbed and men don’t steal the “value of a service”; they don’t even steal the “sexuality” of their victims (sexuality is not a service nor a raw material which could be extracted out of the person).
And, they certainly do NOT steal “women”, not even from themselves: men who rape in prostitution do not “buy or rent” a woman ! This is the point of view of the “buyer”, for whom the problem in prostitution is the price that he must pay. Pimps do not « exploit or sell » women and child! This is the point of view of the Master, for whom the problem in prostitution is to manage his commodities.
But the fact is that women are NOT really commodities! A human can’t be bought and sold and if she is, it’s not business, it’s a crime against her humanity. When a group of persons estimate the price of someone’s integrity or someone’s life, it’s not a valuation; it’s an act of torture and dehumanization. When these criminals estimate the victim because of a condition of birth, they do not estimate her use/exchange value, they commit an act of genocide.
Prostitution is an organized crime against women.
It’s one of the biggest organizations of crimes against humanity.
