Being a stigmatized religious minority group, many reformers rallied together and formed a separation movement that eventually led to 14,000 of them fleeing the country. Between the years 1620 and 1630, radical reformers, known as English Puritans, immigrated to the New World to protect their children from moral corruption, as well as,…

Radical feminists argue that majority of the time, prostitution is not a conscious and calculated choice. They say that women who become prostitutes are forced or persuaded by a pimp or by human trafficking.
