Do they take shop lifters on shopping trips, give embezelers access to other people's bank accounts, take people in prison for knife crime to the gun range?

Or is it just rapists who need this form of 'rehabilitation'

What about pedophiles, do we send them to volunteer in schools?

Very good points

PurgatoryOfPotholes · 06/12/2022 16:50

That's hard-hitting. So, it's on record that a convicted murderer in Canada was granted day release to find a prostituted woman so he could meet his 'needs', and he murdered her.

So why is any other country considering making this policy? The obvious results came to pass. Why do it again?

We lock up rapists and murderers to protect the public. Letting them abuse some women seems contradictory, no?

Woman’s bodies as a gold sticker reward for violent men to try and make them behave

But those men who raped someone in Germany already had access to paid sex services before they committed their crimes. I'm pretty sure of this as prostitution has been legal there for a long time.

And still they chose to rape, so I don't quite see how this would rehabilitate them? Will there be a coach present to advise the rapist to go more gently, not to spit at the woman and so on?

Kucingsparkles · 06/12/2022 17:31

Once again, we see how the Righteous think of female humans merely as partially-sentient support bipeds to service the desires of the actual people (i.e. men).

nepeta · 06/12/2022 17:33

Isn't it interesting that those feminists who argue that sex work is work not at all different from other poorly-paid and somewhat unpleasant female occupations never really seem to notice that probably around 99% of the customers of the prostitution industry are male people, while the vast majority of the workers are female people?

This is true even more generally. Mainstream articles on sex work etc. totally ignore the extreme sex distribution in this one industry.

It is buried into our collective subconsciousness, because not doing that causes awkward questions about power differences between men and women etc, as well as about the view that male people are entitled to have sex on demand (which then does require female people to provide it on demand).

Because male needs are more important than women's safety, obvs.

Yes, this. And if Marylène Lévesque had worked with another women they'd both be dead.

Is this what comes after Nadia sex-work-is-work Whittome decriminalises prostitution? Will we relabel these poor bloody women as ‘therapists’. She’s bleating on about sanctions on benefits etc, so what will happen when women turn down applying for a job to be ‘therapist’?

“When I speak to sex workers about what makes women join the industry, the answer often is: the benefit system.

Universal Credit is very low, sanctions are extremely punitive and many migrants can’t access benefits at all.

To protect women, we need real social security for all.”

all of this, which is were we (Europe) is headed.

also:
what the actual fuck are people on these days??

The rapists’ therapists.
I just noticed the words have identical letters.

How very lucky for
men that women selling themselves for sex is generally being promoted.
It means these men can convince themselves they are just employers, not abusers.

I doubt the therapists will be given all the rights of medical staff, including pensions and injury at work compensation should they get raped, or infected with a disease.

MrsTerryPratchett · 06/12/2022 20:29

Since street sex workers tend to have worse PTSD than Vietnam veterans, why is the rehabilitation of rapists taking precedence over them?

I mean do rape victims gets to work out their issues beating up men?

fannyfartlet · 06/12/2022 20:31

What a great idea. They will surely be reformed after a few visits🙄

Gallese had received express permission from Canadian prison administrators to visit brothels during his day parole, reportedly in order relieve his pent-up sexual tension.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph! What idiots think this shit up?

Hang on, before we all get too upset. Remember, it's only some women this will happen to and the chances are it won't be you, or progressive politicians like Nadia Whittome, or any of the wonderfully enlightened women who make money from ensuring rape crisis centres and women's refuges are accessible to males. Remember the German sex workers will have chosen the work freely and probably just really love sex.

Are you on crack?

PurgatoryOfPotholes · 07/12/2022 22:30

FunnyTalks is being satirical.

The problem is, this is what sex trade advocates actually think.

TheBiologyStupid · 07/12/2022 23:30

Absolutely fucking depressing - there are no adequate words for this misogynistic batshittery.

CousinKrispy · 08/12/2022 07:04

That's funny. Where are all the usual fans of sex work telling us how wrong we are about it?

No, don’t worry, misogyny is a special case. It’s fine to abuse women, misogynists just have to learn which ones are for general male use.

@FunnyTalks apologies I didn't realise you were being sarcastic. It's obvious now it's been pointed out to me! I was in a right mood last night and read this couple wrong.
