During a discussion based on an article about a father wanking off his disabled child, man says "why couldn't he just get a female?"

I point out that this simply swaps one wrong for another. He equates me saying most women are coerced or sold into the sex industry and he says that means I'm defending thieves because they have dodgy pasts too (yes, of course, they often do, but wtf?!).

He says that as long as it's for sale and consensual, buying women is ok. His final comment was a gem:

"Prostitution throughout history was seen as a recognised trade… I think you need to do a bit more research. Yes I understand some have been abused and forced into it, but… It was still a choice for some. Enough now, or we will be here all day babe… I’m done"

Oh well if you're done then that's ok.... Angry

I am also far more concerned about the CSA than the prostitution element. Is this father being prosecuted for his abuse? Horrific.

I couldn't get past your opening sentence. What? What kind of article and what were they saying? Was it an adult child, which at least wouldn't be as bad as an under 18?

I think a man supporting CSA is far more concerning than arguing for prostitution

Or you could do what dozer suggested

Inspirational quotes you say??

Hmm????

I wonder if 'fuck off you dozy cunt ' counts as inspirational

Or 'if you had a brain youd be dangerous'

Or 'when god gave out brains, you thought he said trains, so you asked for a small slow one'

An article on a father sexually touching his disabled DC: wtf?

Your acquaintance sounds like he has some nasty views: block him and disengage?

He's someone I've posted about before I realised, I used to work with him years ago, he's training to be a counsellor and sends me creepy messages every day with vomit-inducing inspirational quotes that sound like he's made them up because they're don't make sense.

I said something along the lines of "Oh well if you say enough now, of course I'll have to comply Hmm"

I bet he won't see the irony.

Is the man a relative or some random on a social media site?

He is a twat either way but im just wondering how sasy it would be to tell him what you really think about him

"get a female"? Like as in "get a new car" or "get chips on the way home"?
You can't argue with someone who starts off with the assumption that women are things and not people.

"and he says that means I'm" = WITH. ffs
