The organisation is planning to adopt a position that calls for the full decriminalisation of the sex industry, including johns and pimps.

It is tabling a paper for its UK branch to vote on that says it is a human right for 'consenting adults' to purchase sexual consent from another person (regardless of the desperate circumstances that person may be in, presumably). The paper also devotes time to that latest favourite cover-all for sex-industry advocates, 'the rights of the disabled', as a reason to allow the continuing expansion of the global sex industry with no oversight or concern from governments.

Apparently the human rights of the (overwhelmingly) women and girls who are coerced, trafficked and enslaved inside the sex industry to satisfy the demand from men for paid sex are of no concern.

Oh, sorry - Amnesty does remember to devote a whole two words to this, conceding that prostitution takes place in an 'imperfect context'. That would presumably be the context of a worldwide patriarchy that devalues female human beings, denies them education, safety and fairly paid work, and tells men they have the right to use their bodies for sex regardless of their actual desires. Not to mention, systemic racism, colonialism and exploitative capitalism.

Good to know Amnesty is prepared to stand up for the most vulnerable people on earth - male sex buyers.

It's okay, Stick, they're the nice punters. The ones who genuinely care and get a wee bit weepy themselves if they think the women didn't enjoy it. They also have magic powers.

Yes right is so odd.

And who said women were selling first.

How about 'men wanted sex, so instead of being raped we evolved into selling'

WHY MALMA did you say WOMEN CAN SELL SEX FIRST

.???

Women have the right to sell sex. Men have the right to buy

I mean here. Interesting way round.

Another proud punter? And this time one from a country where exploiting women for sex is legal, Germany, I'd guess? And a sex tourist! A trio of utter depravity, lovely.

I think this expression: The point is what a woman is willing to do, not what she wants. really sums up everything. Women's wants, needs, desires are all there for the buying to these men, because they just don't care. The women they exploit aren't human to them, not really. As long as the man has a series of holes to penetrate, then that's as far as they believe their ethical responsibility extends. They have no concept of social responsibility at all, especially not as it pertains to women. Women are the sex class, there to be paid for, penetrated and forgotten.

And the expression fuck my wallet ?

Words utterly fail me.

I got deleted earlier Grin

I haven't been deleted for ages. I got with a punter sympathising about rape - when, in fact, I see him as just another rapist.

Isn't grimbletart a member of AI? Perhaps she could forward malms's rather gloating opening post on MN as an example of the sort of men they are advocating have a 'right' to buy women for sex?
