Prostitution · Slavery · SocietyLegalizing prostitution increases human traffickingMixed1 comment·Sep 24, 2021
The previous commenter made many great points however there is a big one that was missed:
Safety of sex workers.
Sex workers cannot report crimes against them without fearing potential legal repercussions as well.
Legalizing also means regulating the industry and providing safe options for workers who have been harmed.
On top of that regulation would provide safer practices in general in terms of STD protection.
Does legalizing and regulating sex work decrease human trafficking? NO BECAUSE NOT ALL HUMAN TRAFFICING IS SEX TRADE RELATED
some human trafficing is forced labor, slave labor, or endangerment of children...
So if someone is seeking a slave, or child then legal options wouldn't change what they want.
Regulations and protections for sex workers has very little to do with the grand scheme of human trafficing.
Where there is money to be made there will also be a sadist willing to treat humans as objects for profit, legal protections give the victims more resources.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez · In the News · Politics · TaxAOC is a hypocrite for going to the Met GalaAgainst1 comment·Sep 24, 2021
She was invited by the designer of the dress she wore.
She did not pay the extremely high ticket fee.
She used her platform to share what she believed in.
Had she not used that moment as a platform it would have been a waste and I would have agreed that she was hypocritical however that's not the case.
Stop thinking she is referring to you as rich or that you are ever likely to even be a billionaire.
Even millionaires are considered poor compared to billionaires.
You current pay more taxes as lower or even middle class than billionaires do.
Do you think you should pay taxes on Bezos behalf?
Do you think any of these billionaires are stimulating the economy when they don't pay taxes?
No -they put their money in off shore account, they don't give a crap about this country, they just live here to take advantage of the system and profit off the backs of their employees who are forced to be on welfare because they don't make a livable wage...
Yup you've got that right, instead of paying their employees they let the government bite that cost.... Looking at you Walmart and Amazon.... But of course their are more.
Main point being -it is unethical to be a billionaire and hoard wealth.
Trickle down economics does not work.
Children · Gender · ParentingIntersex children should be raised gender neutralFor1 comment·Sep 2, 2021
Many intersex children were forced to one side of the gender spectrum by their parents causing greater psychological harm.
Some were even given surgeries based on those assumptions.
We cannot dictate the gender of others, intersex or not.
As an intersex person, if I had been raised gender nuetral I wouldn’t have had as much socialization to undo as an adult.
We shouldn’t shove gender “norms” on any child.
