Prostitution

What’s In A Name Part 2

by Amanda July 28, 2010

The more I read my previous post, the less happy I am with it. For a start, it makes it seem as if I have something against street girls. I don’t. That’s just not the part of the market that I am aiming for. If someone wants to work in this industry and chooses to [...]

Bradford

by Amanda May 27, 2010

More daughters, sisters, girlfriends, wives and mothers taken before their time. These girls were a target, not just because they were prostitutes, but specifically because they were street girls. Any self respecting psychopath knows that if you want to go on a killing spree, you look amongst society’s lost folk for victims. If you’re looking [...]

A Note To The Scottish Tax Payer

by Amanda February 17, 2010

Before I start: Note to R. If you want me to take this down, then just let me know. I noticed this on Punternet Forum earlier and it answers a couple of question that I’ve been asking: Having looked at “10 Reasons” which another poster had drawn attention to, I used the “contact us” page [...]

If you do nothing else today

by Amanda February 15, 2010

Then read this and your day will have been worthwhile. While you’re there, read all the comments. Thaddeus Blanchette says: 2 f 09 at 13:57 The more I look at this topic (prostitution), the more I come to the conclusion that the REAL point of repression is not to save women, but to maintain prostitutes [...]

Why men use prostitutes

by Amanda January 16, 2010

The answer (that is) according to Julie Bindel. Before I start can I just say that I don’t like the word “use” in that context. Visit is much better, but of course ‘visit’ doesn’t have the nasty connotations that ‘use’ does, so we won’t see Julie using it anytime soon. Julie wrote another column for [...]

Minor Irritation du Jour

by Amanda January 13, 2010

According to a poster on the Punternet forum, it is ‘not possible’ to have a relationship with an escort because there will be ‘an eliment (sic)* of deep mistrust’. The evidence for this is a case in Wales where a man is accused of murdering his wife after they rowed over his use of casual [...]

Prostitution and trafficking – the anatomy of a moral panic

by Amanda October 20, 2009

Thank you Nick Davies. Taken from The Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/oct/20/trafficking-numbers-women-exaggerated There is something familiar about the tide of misinformation which has swept through the subject of sex trafficking in the UK: it flows through exactly the same channels as the now notorious torrent about Saddam Hussein’s weapons. In the story of UK sex trafficking, the conclusions [...]

Here we go again!

by Amanda October 16, 2009

Another day, another misguided do-gooder. This time it’s Mary Honeyball MEP (stop sniggering at the back!). On her blog page “The Honeyball Buzz” she says: The plans announced by the Metropolitan Police to abolish its specialist unit dealing with human traficking – trafficking of women and children – are nothing short of a disgrace. So… [...]

Feminists & Prostitution… A Challenge:

by Amanda May 21, 2009

Thanks to a thread on Punternet Forums, I have been reading some bullshit fascinating reports on prostitution. These reports all have something in common. If you look up the authors, you will inevitably find out that they are not just feminists, but activistic feminists of the extreme variety. The kind of feminists who seem to [...]
