Help!
DS who is ridiculously clever, 18 and knows everything has been, along with DD (16) (Alsoclever but prepared to admit to not knowing everything) arguing amicably with me on and off all day.
Both of them were arguing that women should be free to choose to be prostitutes / porn stars / rent out their wombs.
I disagreed vehemently because we can't have laws that allow exploitation of the most vulnerable. Plus, these (particularly the first two) make women commodities for men.
Any clear arguments I can use? Links? Sources.
DS - who is gay - didn't see that if prostitution was so desirable a job, then men would do it. He also didn't see that consent is not really consent if you are vulnerable or being groomed / exploited. His life has been quite comfy. DD - no real life experience, didn't get that, as women, we are often seen as vessels for carrying / entering and that a penis in your mouth / cunt / bum is very different from just being physically close with someone who you don't fancy.
Both of them insisted that porn is watched by lots of women and that porn star is a desirable job for some and that porn stars are safe.
I gave it my all but really do want them to SEE!! Their generation, they argue, is not uptight about sex so selling it is no big deal.
Thoughts?
