You are woefully ignorant, or you are lying. Most of the women here have been forced into prostitution.
It's important to understand: almost no one does prostitution for fun. No woman got up in the morning and said, "I'd like to be prostitute one day!" They do it because a) they are forced into it (the vast majority in Argentina), and they have no other choice monetarily. Mostly A.
Wake up.
Some do get into it because they will make a lot of money. Most of the time they end up getting abused by a pimp. Using people for sex is evil. Prostitution is evil. Pornography is evil. People are not machines, sex machines, or toys. They are human beings for crying out loud, and sexuality is meant to be shared between two people who are in love, not sold on the street to the highest bidder. Or do you think we are just animals?
Think about if your mother made a living every day by letting 50 guys crawl on top of her. Not a pretty image is it? That's somebody else's mother, sister, daughter, being abused over and over for money. That's someone destroying their own soul, or being destroyed, every day.
What happened to your humanity? This goes for everyone else posting in favor of prostitution, too.
You don't know me, son, and you don't know sh*t about the subject which is apparent from the crap that seems to be farting out of your arse. To call me ignorant or lying when the facts exist as I state them while you throw out some kind of wishy-washy vision of how life should be and some "academic study"-based understanding of something you may have seen a little of from arm's length, well, you're showing your ass and I don't like the tone you used to respond to me. So I don't need to treat you with respect, at least, since you seem unable to show it yourself.
Your prudeness or your misunderstanding of life is not my problem. Your academic studies aren't my problem. At the end of the day, most women here who are prostitutes or have been, or only every once in awhile are, choose to prostitute themselves because it is legal, they don't look at sex with some kind of strange awe to be avoided unless you are procreating or have found the love of your life (and it makes no one who enjoys sex with another consenting adult an animal, they just have different sexual mores than you do). They look at it as another way to make money because THERE IS A HUGE MARKET FOR IT.
And most of them will never admit to anyone that they are doing it, except other girls they meet while they are doing it because even though it's an accepted practice in many corners of life here, it's still a vice and remains just out of site. However, it was getting pretty bold in the late 2000's and early 2010's until Cristina shut down some clubs in Recoleta (among many others), where the well-to-do Argentinos went to be seen by other well-to-do Argentinos and enjoy a night out from the family and foreign sex tourists would get bilked out of a lot of money by the bar selling drinks and then take a girl to a telo or a private apartment.
You'd be surprised at the number of women who show up in bars like New Port around the end of the month to make the rent (New Port is a well-known "hook-up" bar in Recoleta where during the day families and couples go to have a drink and maybe a snack or lunch, which at night turns into an "amateur" prostitute bar - "amateur" in quotes because there are actually women who come in at the end of the month to make some extra money, but there are regular prostitutes who go there because the bar doesn't charge the women to ply their trade which most of the other places, like Hipopotamus, do one way or another).
If you want to say that people like Cristina "forced" these women into the life they live I'd still say "BS". I know plenty of women who work hard, respectable lives and live poorly as a result because they would never prostitute themselves. The women who work as prostitutes regularly CHOOSE to do so because they don't want to live poorly. Often, one of their biggest hopes is to get hooked up with a rich (or well-off) foreigner (or Argentino if he's reasonably nice or they are reasonably desperate) and either be his girlfriend for awhile or for some even get married (which mostly never works out very well - though I do know two long-term marriages that have gone very well over around a decade or more). Many of them save their money and buy apartments, or buy a car or go on vacations to Europe or the US (although usually with a rich guy paying the bills in the case of a trip).
But the majority of the women are not forced, unless you want to count circumstances for some (and I say there are ways to avoid it with hard work). The ones who are truly forced are not at all out in the open, no one I know or have ever heard of knows anything about forced prostitution except that they "hear out in the province that it happens sometimes".
Thing is "Tex", I know people who are involved in both sides of the subject. You obviously don't because you are clueless about the reality and your posts show it. I don't really care whether anyone believes me, particularly you Keep listening to the idiots that hide the truth behind what they think it should be, rather than what it really is.
And damn, I wasted my time coming back here and seeing this idiot's idiotic idiocy (to kind of channel Al Franken).
