Mumsnet Talk

I had a look at your link StewieGriffinsMom. Bit concerned at how it considers biting, spitting and threats with weapons as "minor assaults" that go in the same category as name calling.

Biting and spitting from a complete stranger carry a high risk of dangerous infection. Threatning someone with a weapon can very easily result in someone's death if the situtation gets out of hand.

Oh brilliant - another liberal open minded woman arguing for the right of other women to be fucked by strangers for cash (that may or may not be going to a third party).

Just what the world needs.

Not just other women, she did it herself.

She worked as a stripper for a brief time before graduating from Oxford and becoming a writer.

So I maintain what I say above.

A stripper? Dr Brooke Magnanti was Belle de Jour!

OLKN I was talking about Laurie Penny - the author of the article linked to in the OP.

I know who Brooke Magnanti/Belle de Jour is.

Ah, I thought you were responding to the post immediately above yours. My apologies.

No worries. Was responding to OP. Thank you.

Oh, I don't know, some politicians use the services of prostitutes. A senior Tory was a regular at a local brothel back in the '90's, the door staff weren't terribly discreet.

Agree that Rhoda Grant probably doesn't... And the "consultation" (to which, of course, prostitutes and other who know what they're actually talking about could respond) was written in a very biased manner, imho.

That's a really interesting link, CharleZee, thanks. Factual rather than politically-driven.

"That's a really interesting link, CharleZee, thanks."

If it was a really interesting link why did MNHQ delete it?

S/he was a troll.
