I recently participated in a TV discussion on why prostitution is on the rise in the country. I shared the panel with a closet feminist and a radical feminist, both of whom were of the opinion that prostitution was better than marriage since the house is unsafe for a woman, and she would at least get paid for her services if she were a prostitute.
I returned home thinking about their wise utterances and went to bed discussing the same with my husband.
I said, “For decades, feminists have claimed that one out of three women is unsafe in her own house. They have told us horrendous tales about how it was daily grind for men in the country to abuse, assault, set afire and murder their wives. They lobbied for laws which would facilitate a woman breaking her shackles and barging out of the “tyrannical household” or throwing her alleged oppressors out, whichever is convenient. They ensured that every woman who had a problem “clearly understood” that all her problems were because of men, marriage and the household.”
“By the same token,” I continued, “feminists have also been shouting off of rooftops that streets are terribly unsafe for women. They claim that everyday nine out of ten women are subject to manhandling, rape, sexual assault, acid attacks and what not. While they believe that, ideally, a woman should able to walk safely on the street at midnight, they are constantly scaring themselves and the rest of us in the society about how women are unsafe on the street even during the day.”
“What then, is the solution for women? Where do they go? What can they do?” I wondered loudly.
All of a sudden my husband had an epiphany and said, “A WHOREHOUSE!”
“YES,” I agreed, “This is brilliant! It is neither the house nor the street. It is something in between – the utopia that my feminist friends on TV spoke so highly of. They have to be right. That’s where they think our women would be safest, well paid and properly fed, and that’s why prostitution, with the more fashionable label of ‘commercial sex’, is on the rise.”
I then thought of how far we have come thanks to the feminist movement from pre-independence days.
We had a time when prostitution was a recognized profession and we had theDevadasi system. The system was severely condemned by communists as the handmaid of patriarchy. Their unrelenting crusade against the oldest profession resulted in a legislation for the “prevention of immoral trafficking” in 1956.
While this “prohibitive” legislation decriminalized prostitution, a few decades later, the Government went a step ahead and tacitly legalized commercial sex and sex tourism, recognizing how it can financially empower women and thereby boost the economy.
Today, we are at a point where we are talking about prostitute rights. While we have women’s rights champions like Brinda Karat who proclaim that “Society should have no right to control what women wear or do”, we have others who say, “If you respect a woman’s right to say “no” to sex, you should also respect her right to say “yes” to sex.”
Simultaneously, all heterosexual relationships have been prostitutionalized so that a woman can claim compensation for all sexual or non-sexual, real or imaginary interactions at any time during or after the relationship.
A woman who chooses her hearth and home is not left behind either. She is tagged with the honorary title of “prostitute” as feminists believe that she is unaware that she is only trading sex for social and financial security, and they will not take “no” for an answer.
We surely have come a long way, baby!
While I was still marvelling at this astounding progress, I saw a news item which said that the recent Government Census clubbed housewives, prostitutes and beggars into a group. What a timely gesture by the Government!
While housewives have already been clubbed with prostitutes, would it not be unfair to ignore the scores of women who have taken to a glorified form of begging by standing before the Courts of Law for maintenance and alimony from their estranged husbands?
Feminists have not only taught women to shun all the age-old encumbrances imposed by marriage and family but also to shed all inhibitions associated with parasitic living. Accordingly, there is no trace of shame in these modern liberated women, but it is with a sense of pride and entitlement that they artfully exact money, thus claiming their rightful inclusion by the Government in the club.
The feminists reduced housewives into prostitutes and beggars long ago. The Government has just made it official by grouping them in the Census.
Why, then, is the Supreme Court cross about it? Beats me!

Wow. Amazing what this is all degenerating into.
I disagree that housewives are prostitutes, however as for prostitution in what is its traditionally understood form…
…it is morally wrong, but…
…as Paul Elam was discussing the ways men can protect themselves from women I thought that prostitution can be the way.
Consider this…
In a legitimate and decent whorehouse or escort…
a) You do not know the girl’s name, since you get with her through the agency (i.e. legitimate pimps), she really doesn’t have to know yours.
b) She is doing her job, so she would make sure she does not get pregnant, therefore no risk of child support.
c) And of course, no alimony.
d) Money wise the best brothels can be a little expensive but they would make you feel good even before you get laid. Also consider how much you will spend on alimony and child support, or potential divorce. Even dating does not come cheap with certain women.
PS: If you think that prostitutes are searched out only by losers who can’t get laid. That is not true, most of the clientele are married men.
Legalize it. Both.
The traditional family is a thing of the past. Women who live off the hard work of others are looked down on by both modern men and women. Sorry mom and grandma, but you lived the good life (relatively) while dad and grandpa worked hard all their lives in dangerous and dirty jobs and were rewarded for their dedication to their family by divorce and early death.
A pessimistic look at the future, a few generations ahead when the traditional baby boomers have become history…
North American standards of living have been severely reduced, as a result of globalization and “social justice”. Equality has been properly recognized as equal opportunity and government programs are eliminated. However, men have been demographically reduced to second class citizens, resulting from decades of marginalization, misandry and neglect. Men are still over-represented in crime, manual-labor and the military and severely underrepresented in post secondary education. A new level of misandry is perpetuated, insisting that men’s dire predicament is merely a result of natural ability.
Prostitution and drugs are legal and become an increasingly attractive option for young people. The gender roles have been reversed as women have few options for high-status males and are forced to marry-down, if they choose to marry at all. Both men and women become disinterested in marriage and children become the responsibility of the state, where they are indoctrinated with nationalist ideals.
Legalized prostitution….interesting idea. Of course, there would have to be both male and female prostitutes, so that men and women could both buy sex when they wanted to. I wonder how many women would take advantage of the opportunity for anonymous, no-strings sex. I bet quite a few.
If we took sex out of the home, that would change what households look like for sure. I bet a lot more women would live with women and men with men, for social ease and familiarity and comfort’s sake. There would be fewer children, but there are too many people on this planet anyway. Those who wanted a father-mother-children family could still do it, but wouldn’t be pushed into it by their hormones.
Worth thinking about.
Men have no property rights in marriage and even after divorce. Children are also considered property for which he has no rights to as well.
In marriage a woman convinces a man to allow himself to be purchased while in prostitution the man purchases the woman. Either way women obtain male resources but that is simply the all consuming nature of females, men produce and women take by force of law or extort the male to give to her.
We must realize that legally and even socially while even so much as dating them, women have shown that they are dependent and completely unable to be independent and self supporting.
Prostitution helps level the market value of women that may seek to be a part of our personal lives. The body is something which women seek to control and monopolize. In fact women are the only gender who has sole property rights over their body while the male body is the property of the State to use as canon fodder through Selective Service or to be placed into forced labor to financially support a woman or be placed inside a jail cage.
Turning women into a free market product is a great idea. If you think about it there is no longer any other exchange with women that is as fair and reciprocal as whoredom. Prostitution actually gives men property rights. All other relations with women are rife with cohersion, extortion and unequal property rights.
As I said, men have no property rights over our bodies nor the fruits of its labor as women do.
“PS: If you think that prostitutes are searched out only by losers who can’t get laid. That is not true, most of the clientele are married men.”
Leos, I thought “losers who can’t get laid” WAS the definition of married men. I’m confused.
“I wonder how many women would take advantage of the opportunity for anonymous, no-strings sex. I bet quite a few.”
If only there were some way we could already know.
“If we took sex out of the home, that would change what households look like for sure. I bet a lot more women would live with women and men with men, for social ease and familiarity and comfort’s sake. There would be fewer children, but there are too many people on this planet anyway.

Peggy, no offence, but this whole paragraph is something I would expect to find scrawled on the wall in blood on the inside of a padded cell.

I bet that number is higher then some may think. On occasion it is all that I have wanted. I did indeed make it clear. I personally feel that at some point bed hopping for the sake of it would get old. I have been married close to 28 years so most of my thoughts come from that mind set. Housewife was my job. A partnership that worked. Once the children were in school I went back to work. That was always part of the plan.
Prostitution, an honorable profession. No shades of gray everyone gets what they want.
“Peggy, no offence, but this whole paragraph is something I would expect to find scrawled on the wall in blood on the inside of a padded cell.”
@Snark. It’s okay. I won’t take offense at you calling me crazy, although it’s a pretty offensive thing to call someone. It does sound crazy, and I’m not really advocating that sex only happen for money in whorehouses. But it is one place that some of the attitudes I see here from men could land us, so it’s worth considering. I hear “don’t get married,” and “go ahead and get laid but make sure there are no strings.” I was just taking that to the extreme and musing about what it would be like.
