I also have a, who I used to call a stepdaughter and is now I call her a "goddaughter", this is something I also have to think about. My guess is you can only do your best but when they become adults it is their decision to do whatever.

As a single man I would be all for it (not banning prostitutes). However I can understand the positions of the man with a daughter or two as well of the banning.

Timeshare is base on notional ownership of a percentage of the property.

It's been alluded to above, but while the percentage of women choosing
a career in prostitution completely of their own volition is low [although
probably higher than many agenda-driven 'studies' imply] social policy
should be targeted at ameliorating the conditions that promote its
prevalence.
Legalising drug-use would be a sensible start.

I have nothing wrong with "Feminists" as a whole, but if you read the sentence correctly, I said "...Extremisty Feminist...", not Feminist, meaning that I was refering to the "Extremist" section, not ALL of them as a whole. If a woman (Feminist) wants to get some form of Action/Rights for Women as a whole, then that is their choice to do so, whether they are sucessful or not.
Also, there was a typo, I meant: Extremist, not Extremisty.
When I refer to Extremist, I refer to what the word means:
n 1. advocate of extreme measures -a 2. of immoderate or excessive actions, opinions etc.
Extremists can be the same as Fundamentalists - very dangerous people.
Whether "we all" approve or disapprove of Prostitution is not what my posting was about.

As to your comment about my Daughter, she is only just 11 yrs old, so I don't see how she figures into this discussion, but anyway, hypothetically speaking:
When she is an Adult, & she chooses to think about/take this particular career path, I hope by time that she gets to adulthood, she will have had the opportunity to think about various other career paths, maybe even tried some of them. If she is determined this is what she wants to do this, then as an Adult herself at that time, I cannot stop her. It may not be the career path I would think at this time she would likely go for, but that would be her decision, as an adult. In reading some of the other posts in this thread, since this posting of yours I'm replying to, I agree with alot of the things JJ mentioned, as well as others, on similar posts to this thread in the past. I would also like to think, that by time she is old enough for college, I have managed to save enough money to pay for her college education.
> Or is it just other women who are not denigrated by it, not
> your own family? Mmm strange!
Prostitution does not denigrate women, it's how people see/view it. If a woman got into Prostitution voluntarily or not is upto her to decide how she feels about it. There are alot of women who voluntarily do this career path, for whatever reason, & are quite OK with it. I also agree with the remarks made about dealing with the drug-addiction/choice/coercion-deceptive trafficking element, as well as the "middle-men" who typically have some form or illegal/criminal motives involved.
Again, I never mentioned anything about only women/females NOT in my own family who are NOT Denegrated by prostitution.
> These "Extremisty Feminists" re those people who 100 years ago

As I mentioned earlier, it is the Extremist element that are the trouble, like any form of Organisation/Society/Issue, those with Extremist/Fundamentalist tendancies/agendas are the dangerous ones.
If to put it more easily understandable, I have Absolutely NO Problem with ANY female who wants to use the Feminist Cause to further an issue they see as needing to be addressed, for the betterment of all females.
The Feminist movement probably had it's fare share of Extremists, along with every other "Political/Social Movement" in the history of this country, or any other country on this planet.
What has the Feminist movement successfully done for women?
The Right to Vote ???
The Right to Work ???
The Right to better Wages/Working enviroments ???
I've also noticed you keep making comments/changing wording to include males into the prostitution debate, the initial post on this topic was talking about females, & not mentioned anything about males.
Now after all that, I believe I have answered all your comments/questions.
P.S. Also, if there are any Facts that I have stated/misinterpreted incorrectly, anyone on here can directly let me know of them.
...
As you do not have an email address listed on your profile, I cannot discuss this next issue with you, in private, where I believe it should be, so I am resolved to ask it here. If you want to continue it further, here on an open forum, or email me in private, which is completely up to you, is your decision...
What I would like to ask of you, is what do you have against me?
I have steadily noticed an increase in the comments you make to my posts, have a noticeable downward slant to them. Whether your comments are just that, plain comments, or you do indeed have an "issue" with me, could you kindly tell me what your problem is? I am picking up a rather sarcastic viewpoint from your posts, & a general feeling of distrust in what you are posting in reply to me, as a negative, & bad attitude towards me.
I freely admit that I don't have the Education of a School Teacher, so I try my best to talk/discuss topics to the best of my knowledge & understanding. I have on occasion been proved wrong in what I have said/thought/believed, & then appologised to any that my wrong viewpoint/etc might have affected.
I come on here (BGAFD), to talk with other people, either involved directly/indirectly with the Porn Industry, or those who are interested in Porn. I do NOT come here to start arguments/troll like actions/behaviour. So I would appreciate some feedback from you regarding this issue, which I believe has been building for some time.
I won't be online much longer tonight, so I will check back here/my email tomorrow morning for your feedback on this issue.

If I recall correctly the story started with escort agencies advertising in Employment centres, as a consequence of the Ann Summers case, when Ann Summers sued successfully, because she was prevented from advertising there.
There was a suggestion of a law change, apparently to prevent "that sort of thing", but no indication what that law change would actually be, where they would want to draw the line, etc. I think the real point was to test the waters...
