Dude, it’s not a competition. If you really believe men and women face equal challenges in society and have equal opportunities, that’s your opinion. I merely brought up the issues that might contribute to soliciting prostitution being unethical. You don’t believe you are doing harm. We disagree. It’s honestly debatable without knowing you, seeing how you actually interact with them, and perhaps interviewing them in order to understand motivations and whether choices are autonomous and healthy. If they experience a net benefit in the long-term, than it’s not really a problem. I personally doubt that, but I can’t exactly *know* for sure.
However, I know myself, and I know I personally have felt degraded when men tried to use money and success to control me or told me my value was in my looks. I think your outlook is fundamentally sexist, and that bothers me. But I don’t have to fuck you, so maybe it shouldn’t. I suppose if you treat women you work with as equals, then maybe it’s not a problem.
The most egregious problems are the simple ones that should be easy to fix and go against agreed upon standards. In this case:
- Clits are important (see WHO)
- Surgeons should know anatomy they do surgery on and in close proximity to
- Anatomy readily visible to the human eye, easily dissectible, and essential to important bodily functions is taught in every other case
- Doctors should know anatomy they claim to know. For example, “knowledge of all nerves and vasculature of female pelvic organs” should include the clitoris. That’s pretty basic.
So if misogyny isn’t a thing, explain this to me. Do you think, if a man lost all sensation in the glans of his penis, anyone would ask, “What’s the big deal?” “Why do you need justice?” “Wait, how exactly does that affect you?”?
No, of course not. That would never happen.
Are you one of these men who thinks clitoral anatomy is unimportant because female orgasms aren’t medically relevant? Because I’ve heard that one before, sadly from a UTSW student.
