One could say that it is immoral to sell alcohol, but prohibition ended a very long time ago. The illegality of prostitution is a remnant of biblical ideas about morality.
And why can't a woman make a career choice based on what she is good at doing. Whether that be as a corporate CEO or as a prostitute? Why can't she sell sex if it isn't against her morality? That is called persuing liberty, and is protected under the Constitution. No one forces anyone to buy something or engage in behavior they find immoral, why must others push their morality on everyone else? | Again WT; I point to the letter of the law. I will also make the inane point of a man whom might be in an upper-level management position in a company. Should he be allowed to "sell" promotions for sexual favors to the females in the company? It's an inane and moot point because the actions are illegal.
I believe this may be Gary's point to you. You seem to be able accept a female selling her sexual charms to get ahead in this world; but how would you feel towards a man for using his position as that upper level management to obtain sex? My guess (and probably Gary's also) is that you would have a double-standard in your morals here. My point is; and always will be that the acts are both illegal and should be prosecuted. And my viewpoint comes strictly from the law; and not what morals I choose to have or obey. |
