"My point, though, is that while they are there and being used in the mainstream as corporate entertainment, it should not be assumed that if a man frequents them, they are somehow being unfaithful to their wives and it be talked of as a "deal breaker"."
You are a man, in a world run by men, telling women that they have no right to expect their husbands not to go along with sexual exploitation of other women, because everyone does it? Funnily enough, that argument got people precisely nowhere in Nuremberg. They aren't SOMEHOW being unfaithful to their wives. They are behaving in a way that most people would regard as a dealbreaker if payment were not involved. Kindly explain to me how it is that the purchase of the sexual favours of another human being, in a foully misgynist aquiescence to the historical abuse of women, in some way mitigates the disloyalty towards the person with whom you are meant to be in a committed, exclusive relationship?
Slavery was wrong. Apartheid was wrong. Racism is wrong. Do you disagree? Then kindly explain to me why there is not a world boycott of Saudi over their treatment of women. Kindly explain to me how you can, in all seriousness, tell women they have no right to object to a practice that is to their very clear professional disadvantage, to the sexual exploitation of other women, to the very purchase of another woman's body... from a man who is supposed to have committed himself to them in a bond of sexual exclusivity, and emotional and intellectual partnership, on a permanent basis?
My husband doesn't need to be told this would be a sodding dealbreaker. He has guts, a conscience and balls. He knows it's wrong, other women's husbands know it's wrong, and the seeking to belittle and posture when cogent, intelligent arguments are made for which you have no intellectually respectable answer is just transparent. You really had the gall to call someone else in this thread disingenous? Good grief. Look, if you want to justify your abuse of women while denying partaking, knock yourself out. I'll just quietly laugh at you behind my hands. Bu stop lecturing women, from a position of assumed male superiority (and yes, that's precisely what you have done) on how their objecting to the growth of a practice that is so obviously abusive and demeaning and damaging to women is unfair... to men.
Unbelievable.
