Meal Tickets and Sex Objects, Prostitutes and Punters

Women have to understand that all men who fuck them are punters, and men have to understand that all women who let themselves be fucked are prostitutes.

Only love can can sanctify such a transaction.

That doesn't make any sense. Why does having a vagina make you a prostitute?

My point is that it is OK to be a prostitute and a punter. I am all for legalising brothels. Prostitution is an honourable trade compared to single mums who are a burden on the state.

If you have sex with some bloke and expect something from him, apart from the pleasure of his company for the night, you are a kind of prostitute, aren't you?

You are just choosing to have your pay-off later when he marries you perhaps, or at the divorce settlement or when you inherit his property as his widow.

I am not saying there is anything bad in any of the above as long as both of you are getting what you thought you bargained for.

Why are you assuming that a woman sleeping with a man would be the prostitute, and the man the recipient? Isn't that kind of stereotyping? I'm pretty sure there are many men who use sex to get money, power, love, etc, while there are many women who use those things to get sex.

I agree that there is nothing wrong with equal bargaining, but I don't see how each position is limited by one's gender.

A woman is expected to be the prostitute and the man expected to be the punter. I don't think one is morally superior to the other. So it wouldn't change that much if the man were a gigolo and the older wealthier lady his client. What does it matter anyway?

It matters because your original post implied that the way men and women are viewed is the way that they really are.

You may not think that one is superior to the other, but the very reason the woman is labeled a prostitute and the man the purchaser is because the negative connotations given to prostitution.

Women are expected to be filthy and low, just like prostitutes are seen as; men are expected to be the ones with money and the power, just like the johns are seen as.

Actually, in many jurisdictions, both the punter and prostitute are seen to be low: the man because he can't find a partner; the women because she is impoverished or addicted to drugs that she has to sell her body for the use and abuse of strange men.

In practice, both punter and prostitute are criminalised.

I am in favour of the legalisation of brothel-keeping.

At least prostitutes have the virtue reminding men that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Imagine if a prostitute came up to a punter and said: "You know when we last did some, er, "business" a few months back? Well, I'm now up the spout and knocked up. You better help me look after it or pay a contribution towards its upkeep."

He'd tell her where to go, wouldn't he?

"What we transacted was an ad hoc bargain for sex," he could point out. "If I am not your husband, the presumption should be that whatever I meant to transact was a bargain for sex. It was certainly not to assume the burdens of fatherhood."

So why the hell should the taxpayer pay up like lambs?

The 30 second rapist

http://www.australian-news.com.au/anti_male.htm "Perth resident Kevin Ibbs was having consensual sex with Christine Watson on the night of 29 November 1986. Watson, a close friend of Ibbs's wife, Katrina Carter, was living in the same house with Ibbs and Carter. The sex act was taking place with the full knowledge of Carter who was in the house at the time. As Ibbs was nearing ejaculation, Watson suddenly withdrew her consent to sex (so she later claimed) and tried to push Ibbs away. He continued for a short time. Too late, he was trapped. He was charged with sexual assault and found guilty under the new law. The judge found that Ibbs had continued sexual intercourse for about thirty seconds without consent (for which he was later dubbed the 30-second rapist). The judge sentenced him to four years imprisonment." http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/cases/cth/HCA/1987/46.html "Some years later Watson admitted to police that the whole incident was a set-up orchestrated b...

My interpretation of that wife-beating verse 4:34

Image
004.034 YUSUFALI: Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all). PICKTHAL: Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them. Then if they obey you, seek not a wa...

Verse in Koran implicitly accepts the existence of brothels

024.033 YUSUFALI : Let those who find not the wherewithal for marriage keep themselves chaste, until Allah gives them means out of His grace. And if any of your slaves ask for a deed in writing (to enable them to earn their freedom for a certain sum), give them such a deed if ye know any good in them: yea, give them something yourselves out of the means which Allah has given to you. But force not your maids to prostitution when they desire chastity, in order that ye may make a gain in the goods of this life. But if anyone compels them, yet, after such compulsion, is Allah, Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful (to them), PICKTHAL : And let those who cannot find a match keep chaste till Allah give them independence by His grace. And such of your slaves as seek a writing (of emancipation), write it for them if ye are aware of aught of good in them, and bestow upon them of the wealth of Allah which He hath bestowed upon you. Force not your slave-girls to whoredom that ye ...
