While it's always interesting to read perspectives I find this one a bit proaganda-y, specifically:
- Police officer turned brothel owner saying police will turn blind eye (he's someone "in the know" and as an ex copper will be seen to be a good moral type of person generally
- Woman saying why should anyone judge her - which always comes up, from a feminist point of view it is striking that yet again we have a defensive woman while the men who - if anyone is to be judged should be the ones to be judged - are pretty much out of the picture in this part
- It's clearly an advert for this particular brothel
- The idea that paying for sex is normalised is presented as a good thing, and that groups of men will come as a starter to a night out. Do they really do this? I mean, a lot, in the UK? I took it as more of a suggestion to readers - "it's all fine and normal, come along with your mates!"
Posting on the feminist board for obvious reasons - I find the normalisation of buying women for sex really worrying and extremely unpleasant. Women these days feel it's not something they have any right to dislike. The happy hooker narrative is in full swing.
Did this read to anyone else more or less like an advert for this particular brothel?
