I didn't mean to kill the thread with the abiding horrors of the kyriarchy.

in one sense it would be good for some people to have a place to go.

In Japan there's a legal form of prostitution where men go into a place, lie down on a table and a woman gives them a handjob. The end. No beatings. No STDs. No pimps.

I don't know if I'm really advocating for that, but there does seem to be a direct relationship between the puritanical need to deny sexuality and the inevitable outcome being illegal, abusive, exploitive sex.

In the Netherlands they accept that people want sex, they teach sex ed at an early age, abortions are legal and affordable and they have very low teen pregnancy rates.

Oh, babe, you know I could go darker, right?(Not taking that as a challenge right now, but it really does amuse me to break up little games like" Who Would You Be In 1908?" by saying "Possibly dead, next to my dead mom." and some days not adding "bled-out" too seems like a favor to the kids. But for some of us, as much as I'd love to say "Shikse Emma Goldman", I know what I know. But if I could blow up Theme Park History at the same time, at least something worthwhile would have come from it.) I'm on Team Netherlands, I think.
