Victimless crimes

Feminists vs "sex workers"

Libertarians are probably more consistently Mill-ish than J. S., himself, on this issue.

And the feminists are entirely full of beans, beginning with the question who is exploiting whom, when the participants are no more sensibly to be accounted coerced than folks in less controversial lines of work.

It is evident that it makes at least as much sense to say that prostitutes exploit the sexual urges of their clients as to say that clients exploit the prostitutes' need for money.

And neither accusation makes any sense, given the buyer of anything is always exploiting the seller's need for money and the seller is always exploiting the buyer's need for whatever is to be sold.

That is at the root of all exchange.

So?

P.S.

"Gender apartheid"?

I love it.

Why not "gender genocide," while you're at it?

Or "gender fascism"?
