Non-Consensual Prostitution: Cruel Right Or Wrong?

Decent Essays
The reason it's was made illeagal, was because the church made it illeagal. The same church that also told people wasching yourself is unhealthy and that a raped woman which got pregnant wasn't raped at all, since the pregnancy was proof she wanted to be raped. The reason it's illeagal today is a) genetics, b) psychology and c) people like you aka society. The same kind of people who would have once put gay people in prison because they are gross, of course. Also what has you being put into incestual prostitution to do with anything? Absolutely nothing. The first time my father raped me I was seven. Has this anything to do with what I talked about? No, it hasn't. There is a big difference between non-consensual and consensual. This is the reason

    The reading from the textbook titled, Tricking and Tripping: Fieldwork on Prostitution in the Era of Aids, by Claire E. Sterk, is also an intro to the book by the author with the same title. The fieldwork is based in New York City and Atlanta in the 1980s, describing the daily life of prostitutes from their own perspectives. In her book she goes over the techniques she used to observe these women in their communities. The research that Sterk conducted on female prostitution and the struggles they may face, was very critical to the trade and the general awareness of the public. Her work is revolutionary because it shuts down the common beliefs on why women become prostitutes, and she wrote in a style that made her research more accessible to…

    The Progressives were led by religious leaders such as Charles Parkhurst, a Protestant Reverend who urged for more “protest” from the Protestants. The Progressive Era united various anti-vice crusaders such as the Anti-Cigarette League, the American Purity Alliance, and the Anti-Saloon League. These groups were already united on many issues such as labor rights, women’s rights, minimum wage laws, etc. Thus, in 1900, a reform group known as the “New York Committee of Fifteen” conducted undercover vice investigations and released their first report with the title “The Social Evil.” A similar group with ties to the New York Anti-Saloon League, known as the “Committee of Fourteen,” did a comparable investigation of prostitution three years later.…

    In the article “What is Wrong with Prostitution, Pateman argues that prostitution is a form of patriarchy and she attempts to support her argument by referring to the history of how women were treated as housewives. Essentially, she claims that prostitution is merely a way for men to temporarily claim ownership against women. In my opinion, I would disagree with this claim since prostitutes have the autonomy to choose who their clients will be and have the right to refuse any form of sexual activity that may not fall under their likings. Pateman also claims that prostitution is not similar to other forms of jobs. To elaborate, in a typical job, the employer is paid on the basis of what they produce through labor, whereas prostitutes are paid…

    Radical feminists argue that prostitution is not a conscious and calculated choice most of the time. They believe that most individuals who become prostitutes are forced or persuaded by a pimp or by human trafficking. If it is an independent decision, then it is due to personal issues, like poverty, lack of opportunity, or underlying problems, like drug addiction, child sexual abuse and other factors.…

    Children don’t often report sexual abuse to their parents or and adult. Parents of victims of sibling incest have to divide their concern between two children, and they sometimes have to make a choice to remove one child. Many parents alternate between sympathy for the victim and sympathy for the offender, whom they may perceive as immature, emotionally unstable or victimized himself. Rape · Rape is defined as the carnal knowledge of a victim without his or her consent that occurs through fear, coercion, fraud or force. Carnal knowledge is considered any degree of penetration of a body orifice whether or not ejaculation occurs.…

    Christianity originated in the first century Roman Empire, and often their senses of right or wrong put them at odds with the power of the government. In this empire there was not a sharp dichotomy between heterosexuality and homosexuality and therefore, the government was not interested in regarding the morality of prostitution or pedophilia. Paul wrote to people living in that world, “… the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men … will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were.…

    Many people are willing to take the risk to fight underage prostitution, so they can rescue victims and provide them safe environment. In the same article, Kimberly states, “One of the most obvious necessities, and a struggle encountered by victim service providers across the country, is finding appropriate, safe housing for victims, because simply too few protective shelters exist to fully meet the needs of this population” (184). In addition to the lack of shelters as Kimberly says, there are actually few safe shelters. It is really difficult to secure underage prostitution victims because pimps have all the information about them. The victims can’t even go back to their own family because it is not safe for them.…

    One of the topic we discussed in our women and gender studies class is prostitution, which happens with both sexes but is filled with mainly women. Prostitution can be forced or it can be chosen. The two articles I am going to use in my essay are; “Getting Away With Hating It: Consent in the Consent of Sex Work” by Charlotte Shane and “Prostitute 'Nancy' Shares Her Story: 'You Can Lose Your Life If You're Out Here'” by Rachel Cook. Both articles contain real life accounts from actual prostitutes and the way they see their profession. I am going to use both in my argument that prostitution cannot be just like any other job and therefore should not be made legal or be legal where it is.…

    “Sex-Work; a way of living” Sex trafficking, an epidemic in its most latent manner, effects the morals and rights of freedom and protection of society. In 2014, Bill C-36 under Canada’s Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act, received its assent of legalization. The Parliament Members of Canada have grave concerns about the exploitation, objectification, risks of violence and the disproportionate impact on women and children inherent in prostitution (PCEPA 2014). Although the legislation passed by the Canadian parliament initially intents to tackle the issues of human trafficking and their exploitation, however it fails to put into perspective the actual stakeholders being effected by Bill C-36. It mistakenly assumes sex-work as…

    Human trafficking, specifically sex trafficking is a worldwide issue that has gained attention over the past decade. When sex trafficking is brought up through discussions or in media, it is usually seen as an international problem where women and children are being smuggled into the United States for exploitation. It is true that such cases happen but, there are victims, who are Americans, that are being trafficked daily. The government, in an effort to combat the issue of human trafficking, put forth the Trafficking Victims Protection Acts (TVPA). This act has set definitions for human trafficking that ultimately helps decide if a person is a victim and/or deserves protection.…
