i am currently studying some of the issues of the feminist movement.

one of my first observations is that men are really not welcome in the discussion.

all the reference books and topics i have looked at so far are written by women.

should prostitution be legalized?
by John Doe in

think of all the unprotected prostitutes in the world.

if their profession were legalized, they might have access to retirement plans, medical insurance, regular health exams that would protect not only the girl but the client also.

courts and society have traditionally held the body as something sacred that should not be sold, but are people not selling their bodies when they make pornos or pose for pictures or make movies or any such things?

i know of someone who's daughter is dating a young man from the bahamas.

the girl is 20 and he's 24 and was already married to an australian woman 10 years older than him.

he has no use for his crack addicted mother and he tolerates his younger sister that seems to be on the same course as her mommy.

here's the scenario: you buy an item and it's on sale for 10% off the original price.

a new cashier charges you, instead of 10% off, 10 cents!

this happened to a woman who bought a leather coat among other things and when she reviewed her slip she knew absolutely that the new cashier messed up.

by bigdreaux in

when it comes to the society, are they to blame for the control they use upon the members, or is it the peoples fault?

should we blame the society for tricking people?

or is it the people that let themselves be tricked?
