9. "Why fight for human dignity for women in every other labor field, but not these particular women?"
Mon Jul 14, 2014, 05:58 AM

I guess I don't see how trying to raise awareness of 9 year old prostitutes addicted to drugs to make them look older just became me not supporting women and labor?

The main way we get to worker protections is through laws, so...? Is this law that legalizes prostitution working to bring human dignity? Do we say, well, just keep it this way because there is nothing you can do? Why try to reform anything then?

What are the "cultural causes" of poverty? Does one culture tend to create poverty more than some other culture because of some inherent quality of the culture? This sounds odd to me. That is what I was asking for.

Do apes trade their children to be raped for survival? I'd be surprised to find that is the case, except in the most stressed out environment. And if humans were just like apes, we'd never have evolved speech and other forms that make human society unique.
