A different form of sexism

Yes.

Was just reading this yesterday: http://www.guardian.co.uk/global-development/poverty-matters/2012/jul/26/india-sex-workers-female-empowerment

There is clearly an issue around people being forced into the work which needs to be looked at and also of people in unstable mental states being coerced into such activity.

I think the attitude you mention though is interesting. That a woman would only have to be in an unhealthy state of mind to engage in such activity. Not only is it sexist from the perspective you mention but it also, in and of itself, makes little to no sense to me.

I guess that we're in agreement won't deliver much discussion!

I do agree with OP there is sexual discrimination against males with regards to prostitution. It is discrimination not just from Feminism groups but from males too. I do not believe it is a different form of sexism. It is the same form but people will not admit it because they will always believe that women are always the victims and males are always the abusers.

If a male get hurts or abused by a female he probably done something to deserve it.
Males do not need protecting and deserve what the get for been weak.
Males are the only one who abuses.
All sexual contact by males is rape.

These are common quotes I hear from feminism and other males. yet the last two are from mainly extreme feminism groups.

Sexual Inequality goes beyond that, it is inherent in Irish Law and Courts, religions and society (religious or not). For example
This woman who face charges of incest, sexual assault and wilful neglect deserves to have the same punishment as a man for abuses on her children but she got off very very lightly compare to the damage she did to her children. Her children have to live with the consequences of her varied abuses that most of us cannot understand, never mind comprehend in what her children have to live with due to neglect and never got what most families have a stable loved home.

It seems abuse from a non-loving mother who sexual abuses her son and neglect to properly feed, care for clothes and send her multiple kids to school properly is not as bad a one father who rape his daughter. Yet society declare that the child is better off with an abusive mother than with an ok or brilliant father who is denied access to his children. The emotional trauma upon other abuse and neglect the kids have endured and have to live with those consequences that is not their fault for the rest of their lives. The State care less for them and it shows in our Laws and lack of resources even through the boom times of the celtic tiger. The State continues to fail children of abusive mothers with poor laws and consequences for their shameful acts. This sends the wrong signal for children especially teenagers of abusive mothers that the state do not care for them society in general do not care for them.

Males are punish more than females for the same types offences such as child abuse and neglect and assaults on other adults. Males are more likely than females to be prosecuted for the above offences because in the minds of the Police and the State, that the male is more guilty than females. Only extreme cases for women who are prosecuted and that with a big fight from the victims and victims families not to let it lie and die.

I witness a group of women beat a young teenager boy at night because the boy rejected the sexual advances of a drunk woman. He just said "NO WAY". The Police watched the women had their fill of punches and one fat women ran from a distance across the road at him and floored him to the ground and broke his arm. She the other women were not arrested for assault causing bodily harm. Guess, what they arrested the teenage boy for breach of the peace. He did not fight back. He put up his arms to try to reflect their punches away with palms out in front in a non threatening manner. He now have a record for refusing to have sex while the abusive women gets away scott free.

Here a boy say no to a girl for sex and get assaulted and people especially females find it funny.



I have seen a man publicly ridicule with loud shouting and abuse in a pub one night by a number of females over a similar issue with an issue with a protection of young barely teenage boys from their aggressive mother who drinks heavily and abuses her boys. One I have known as a child of a very natural quite boy, the mother claims is too timid and she want to toughen him up. He refuses to steal for her and gets punished for refusing to steal. The other son played hurling for the local club and is good at it, but problems at home force him to emigrate to the US when he was 18 where a relative (most assume the father who was a US citizen) brought him to come over to get away from the abuse. The same mother encourage her daughters to publicly ridicule and beat their brothers even in public. That was in the late 80's. The younger son committed suicide in his late teens. Today females are far more aggressive in public and assertive in open society and males are less likely to defend themselves because then they are accused as causing the breach of the peace and more likely arrested than females for assaults.

There been too many stories of mothers who aggressively defend their husbands who sexual abuses his daughter/s. and the denails and attacks from her damages the abused daughter lives even more.

Males get a raw deal when it comes to separations when kids are involve. Irish Law and courts and society favours women to look after children
Society members often thinks males at home looking after children is strange when the woman is work and the bread winner and thinks he is weak and deserves to be threaten badly with abuse because she wears the pants therefore the boss.

Here a female teacher beat a her male student and the laughter of the other kids is highly noticeable in the background is loud female kids laughing.

Kids grow up thinking abuse from females is ok as long it towards the males. I remember as a kid in the 80's an old woman roar at a man to beat his wife because she consider was disobedient and had different views to the old woman and her husband. All she wanted was equal rights and true fairness and respect.


Here is a set-up by a ABC news to test females and public reaction when abuse happen when reverse roles when a woman is beating a man in public.


So after things I mentioned above, If you want male prostitutes who are manipulated and sexually taken advantage by randy women to have the same protection under law as female prostitutes, then you probably have to leave this country with embarrassment probably Antarctica. The people (both equally males and females) will laugh at you and think you are a misguided individual and probably need to go to see a shrink.

I am fully in favour in equal rights and same punishments without regardless of sex, age or race or status in Irish Law and Courts. But that is dream that will never come to reality on my part and children will be the real victims and have to live with the consequences of our inactions and denials that the woman is always right and can do no wrong and that the man is always at fault and should be punished.

Look how long it took females groups to get politicians to admit domestic abuse from husbands should be a criminal offence and to get the Gardai to investigate them. It took a very very long time. I very doubt that more female wife abuser will be charge with domestic abuse. In that contexts and stories I mentioned above and videos, you are not likely to get any protection for male prostitutes who are sexual abused by females.

Statistics gathers is skewed and is flawed from an early stage due to people lying and miss-interpretation and actions. There are too many flaws and interpretations due to skewed view when looking at data. I look at data and looks for faults. I look for the initial reasons for collecting the data to check for skewed errors in logic for collecting or omissions of data collection that would effect the data collected. If you look at the data collected for sexual encounters, Women are knowingly lie how many sexual partners she has. She downplays the number to save public embarrassment. Quite frankly it no other people business as long it is not rape. But data collected from her may have disastrous consequences if use especially when it comes to rape.

This is a view from a Canadian who country is far more liberal than here
over many decades and her analysis of their gender inequality legislations and in the courts (Judges).

She feel the system is unfairly bias towards females, not males, which makes male prostitutes need for protection far down the arse of the barrel of problematic list that needs to be resolved.

It is the same here in Ireland, we have the same gender inequality intertwined in our law and Justice system and in the fabric of our society. Male prostitutes who are sexual abuse by randy women are less likely to be punished than women who rape young boys or assaults men in the balls who refuse to have sex with them.
