I've been thinking about [our] perceptions of prostitutes. The mentality that women and girls (and boys) want to be whores. There are some out there. Stats show a small percentage. That, however, does not justify the kidnapping, luring, raping, mind-control, etc of the majority who do not want sex with strangers. Both males and females believe that if that's what they want it is none of our business. Recently, I heard two young girls talking about the legalization of prostitution. One said that if a girl wants to sell her body by having sex or stripping it is body and she should do what she wants with it. The other eluded to it not being that simple.
It is just not that simple.
No problem as big as human slavery is easy to discuss. No one really enjoys the truth about modern day slavery when they hear it. But! Discuss we must. The majority of [victims] are forced or are chosen because of their past has distorted their view of their worth developed because daddy, brother, uncle, or someone else deemed safe wasn't. Some are a just flat out kidnapped.
Humans are geared to survive. As a survivor of assault I can tell you that the need to fight to survive is very real; as is the need for love. The sexual deviants and perpetrators are called by themselves and society....YOU and ME...cool names like Pimp. The girl, average age 12, is called a whore 
or a prostitute. Her pimp has only one objective. MONEY. The man who buys her will actually choose and pay more for her if she is younger than if she is older. More if she is white than not. These children drink or do drugs to dull the pain. Trafficker introduce them to drugs, by force if necessary, to keep them desperate.
Movies, television, magazines, media continue to race down a careening path of sick behaviors. Open your eyes to what is out there. Listen to the words of our culture: In the song Roxanne, it says,
"You don't have to wear that dress tonight, Walk the streets for money, You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right....I won't share you with another boy." It sounds so innocent. It sounds like she is a bad girl and he is a nice boy.
Of course, there is 50 Cent, "I ain't that nigga trying to holla cause I want some head, I'm that nigga trying to holla cause I want some bread, I could care less how she perform when she in the bed, B*$&@, hit that track, catch a date, and come and pay the kid,
Look baby this is simple, you can't see, You *$#!ing with me, you *$#!ing with a P-I-M-P.
Look baby this is simple, you can't see, You *$#!ing with me, you *$#!ing with a P-I-M-P.
Sex sells and ...hello...men are buying.
More and more women are buying into the mentality that sex is just sex. That is what people do. Women are addicted to porn. Women I speak to don't seem think it is such a big deal. They wear less and complain about the way men behave. These men oogle and ogle over women and children like they are at a candy store while women complain about the way men are these days. Boundaries have been confused. There is an increase in men seeking to buy and they want them younger and younger. This is a lot I know. If you take a piece of it and try to explain it way by itself you might make head way. If you look at the big picture you find that women are being treated as objects and that the men who are the in selling business want your little girls (boys too) to be buying into their sexualization of the world

WE have glamorized prostitution. Young girls and women joke about it and do whatever it takes to be sexy and alluring. Little little girls talk about being sexy. Our kids are struggling to value themselves in a society that kills unwanted children and seeks to find a home for mom and dad when they get to be too much trouble or worse; support euthanasia. Our belief that there is really no purpose to life permeates our culture and our precious children suffer. In the meantime these criminals are choosing to increase trafficking because you can sell a body repeatedly; drugs and guns only once. With the over 27 million slaves in the world we must take it seriously. Over 100,000 children are sold here in America. That is a
conservative number and it is rising.

We, the general public, have a disconnect when it comes to child sex slaves and prostitution. No one wants their family member grown or not to sell their body, whether forced or not. So why do we as a society tolerate the sex trade? Join with the brave few folks to cry out "Enough" for the voiceless ones. Thank you Jo Whipp for being proactive.
ReplyDeleteLS, thank you for your comment. As I said in my article, no little girl dreams of being repeatedly raped, beaten, or tortured. They dream of going to the movies with their friends, growing up, etc. If "we", humans who are not depraved could put forth even a small effort, together we can do much.
