Why are women in the "sex trade" marginalized as human beings?

Stupid religions are one contributor to society’s twisted views; politicians motivated by corporations are another. The combination is horrifying.\n\nLike Bill Mahar said, I am embarrassed to have to call myself an American these days.\n\nLike Penn and Teller said this season on the Showtime Show “Bullshit” – there is no prostitution – it’s a myth!\n\nThis one pisses me off as much as the stupid labor laws, marijuana laws, pharmaceutical corporations lobbying the government as opposed to universal health care, and George Bush’s gross neglect to secure the borders, protect American small business interests (as it relates to immigrants and forgetting about the quotas while trading with unfairly competing and human rights violating governments such as China)\n\nI am an adult. I should go find another willing adult that wants to have sex with me and I should give her money or something valuable for her time and troubles and experience and attention! And I would do it over and over again peaceful practicing passive resistance to bullshit laws. \n\nIn fact, I just talked with my wife and she agrees! We’re flying out to a broth next month! We’ll spend as much as we can!

Sorry, I'm not a man....  But if you will read more into these types of situations (and not just in the US, it's a HUGE problem all over the world now)  that the majority of these women were trafficked in with the intention of keeping them against their will and making them work there.     Human trafficking to support the sex industry is a Major problem right now.  These women should be rounded up and sent home.\n I can guarantee you that more than half thought they were taking a different type of job (that is the lure, a real job, NOT dancing naked for gross men)  they would probably welcome the authorities arresting them and sending them home. (many actually do)

Yes, someone who uses another person, in a relationship, for financial benefits, money, or for the partner to buy them things.  No, it's not another term for a prostitute, because some men (and women) are stupid like that, you don't have to sleep with them in order to get their money!\n\nIf I wasn't using someone, of course I would take this as an insult!

No I don't.  Women still are discriminated against in the workplace here in the United States; and in many other nations, they face even more severe restrictions.  Women are also greatly marginalized by the world's predominant religions.  Judeo-Christian mythology still contends that women were made from Adam's rib, soley as a companion for Adam.  Muslim women are severely oppressed as well.\n\nThe human race isn't as far out of the jungle as it often gives itself credit for!

its a modern world, people are more free to do whatever they want now than ever before in history. the fact that people are  havin sex just means they wanted it all along, now they can get it.\n\ni agree though, sex shouldnt be the only thing a relationship is about.\n\nalso, the media plays a large role. i just did a paper on maxim magazine and its attitude towards women. i bascially concluded that they only appear in the magazine as sex objects.\n\nas for the "is there any decent girl left" part, sadly, the answer is pretty much no. especially in america, there are pretty much no physically attractive women with good personalities (men are also to blame for this).

There are still women in the world that don't have rights .That are pasted up for a job because a guy would rather hire another guy.Because we have to  stay at home with the kids.Because society wants us to kiss butt.If we speak out we're PMS wielding maniacs.......

How about PEOPLE empowerment?  Why have a stupid sex war.  It is high time both sexes live together in harmony.

Women are like drugs in some cases. However, it's not always the sex. Its the feeling of being with that particular person. Then you have whores who are shallow, dont care about women, and just think they are cool to have sex. It's so they can go around and tell all their buddys that they banged the local hot chick that lives next door.

I don't see how celebrities are influencing prostitution, but what I do see is the rise in eating disorders, low self-esteem and young girls trying to be sexy.  As far as actual prostitution I have not heard of someone turning to prostitution because of a celebrity, but I definitly feel that young people are starting to have sex younger and younger because of the images of these young stars partying on t.v. and changing partners every few days or weeks also smoking, and drinking is very popular among young people because of seeing these people indulging in these things on t.v.

Probably because girls can have access to the real thing a lot easier than guys,so they dont need substitutes for it.\nThe law of supply and demand does apply for the sex industry!

maybe it's because of the double standard men show us??? how about the fact that you degrade us by calling us whores? we can't even act like we have a bit of feeling between our thighs without being called a whore or a s1ut,& maybe if you men could please us teh way we want it we wouldn't be out with other men....what you should be asking yourself is why men don't accept a woman with a strong sexual appitite maybe if you did you'd get F***ed the way you wanted to and the cheating would stop on both sides .

Porn stars and prostitutes are invariably people with low self-esteem that need to either denigrate their own personal value because they think they do not DESERVE to be LOVED or valued by society,  or else they are individuals that see BOTH industries as a place to make quick money, the ONLY cost being their OWN self-esteem and humanity. \nOften, this lifestyle is initiated and perpetuated  by the ROOT causes, -- abuse, alcoholism, rape,  DRUGS, and poverty.

Hooking is not a legal term so its hard to say. Legally although it varies from state to state The term "prostitution" generally means the commission by a person of any natural or unnatural sexual act, deviate sexual intercourse, or sexual contact for monetary consideration or other thing of value. \n\nGiven this definition, the only women who are not Prostitutes(including your MBA and the average Housewife) are those who have sex strictly for their own enjoyment and not to recieve anything in value.

WHY ARE MOST OF THE ATTRACTIVE MEN WHORES??  ITS A DOUBLE STANDARD.  HONESTLY I BELIEVE THAT WOMEN ARE STARTING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE HAVE AND ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF IT. IF A WOMAN IS ATTRACTIVE AND A MAN IS WILLING TO BUY HER THINGS AND SPOIL HER EVEN IF SHES NOT SLEEPING WITH HIM....THEN WHY THE HELL NOT???

the business with the head covering was cultural..in some places prostitutes either shaved their heads or left their heads uncovered. The ideas was to NOT look like the prostitutes in their area....young girls did not cover their heads, but married women did...so if it was an older woman (of marrigae age) and her head was uncovered, then something (bad) was going on with her....so women of marrying age had to do something to keep others from thinking they were prostitutes and shame the community.

sure there are still people who are into those things.  the problem is that pop culture and media has taught young people to pretend to be something that they are not.  so young men would generally rather treat women like prostitutes, and women have learned only how to be treated that way and respond in kind.  You may have to "teach" a young woman to appreciate the finer things.... But there are those who's families have raised them with a better upbringing so that they can appreciate a wonderful evening such as that.  I applaud you.  You will find that special lady.
