The mainstream media reports every little human trafficking case with the earnestness of a schoolboy showing off his first dissected frog- except they fail to connect the dots between the outrageous demands of the prostitution prohibitionists and the other cases of human trafficking and sexual exploitation. The prohibitionists- and our government- are waging a campaign to "end the demand" for commercial sexual services, as if that will stop consenting adult from either providing services to or receiving services from other consenting adults. We wonder if they would be consistent in their argument for ending the demand... if they would apply their 'solution' to other areas of labor or human relationships into which millions of adults and children around the world are forced or in which violence and sexual exploitation occur on a regular basis.
Here are our suggestions, using the prohibitionist tactics, to solve the problems associated with all human trafficking and sexual exploitation:
- End the Demand for rape: outlaw sex (can anyone argue that rape is less serious than consenting adult prostitution?)
- End the Demand for domestic violence: ban marriage (spousal abuse is a direct consequence of marriage, right?)
- End the Demand for human trafficking into domestic servitude: ban domestic servants, cleaning companies, janitorial services- everyone clean up after yourselves! Even if you are old or infirm, you have no right to exploit the labor of others to clean your body, home or place of business! Domestic servitude is the major destination for victims of human trafficking around the world. Children as young as 5 are forced to become domestic servants.
- End the Demand for child sexual exploitation in families- abolish child rearing by biological parents! 68% of all child sexual exploitation cases are at the hands of a family member!
- End the Demand for human trafficking into sweat shops- abolish all garment manufacturing outside the home. If you cannot grow your own cotton, shear your own sheep, produce your own fabric and sew your own clothes, too bad! You should not benefit from the exploited labor of others who may be forced into such work by those who profit from their labor!
- End the Demand for human trafficking into agriculture/ farming: ban all products grown or raised on farms! See above for rationale. Same goes here.
- End the Demand for Human Trafficking into child labor including children who are hired as actors or models for tv and print: abolish all gourmet popcorn (see the recent case of assistant basketball coach Theodore Berry in Lewisville High School in Texas.)
- End the Demand for Human Trafficking into minimum wage jobs: abolish all jobs in which persons may be unhappy (or just look unhappy) with the work they are financially coerced to do to earn a living!
- END THE DEMAND FOR ANYTHING THAT THE POLITICALLY CORRECT PERSONS IN CHARGE FEEL IS POTENTIALLY PHYSICALLY OR EMOTIONALLY HARMFUL TO THOSE WHO MAY, THROUGH LIFE’S UNFORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCES, BE FORCED TO DO!
Either you want to rescue all persons who may be victims of the above real life cases of human trafficking and violence or you are a major hypocrite. You are not at all concerned about victims of human trafficking- you only want to abolish consenting adult commercial sex. Do something bold! Be honest! Stop trying to pose as a concerned citizen who wants to stop ‘human trafficking’ and be upfront with your moral / social crusade. You may fool yourself and those who think like you, but you sure don’t fool us sex workers! |
