I enjoyed the programme, different to the usual drug + prostitution + feminist + trafficking combination. Because they are all very different issues. I especially like how it talk about male and transexuals which is eye opening.
I always think the banning of prostitution is feminist way to take power from masculinity, imagine if prostitution is legal and as acceptable as a sport massage as it once were (or if prostitutes have same respect as companions in firefly), woman would no longer have the power to keep man obey. Rupert talked about religion, this shift is similar to how the church used suppress woman. Funny thing is with our female conditioning in the past few decades, most men no longer aware of this.
I do wonder if it painted a rosier picture than reality that it really suggest tho, Charlotte-rose said everyone has beauty, true, and you can have orgasam with every client, but at the end of the day, it is a job, you will have good and bad days. But I glad you enjoyed it and thank you for being there for us
The street walker with a daughter made me sad, not because she is a street walker but because she lacks the education and knowledge to use internet service, manage clients, finance etc.
Personally I am very interest in a prostitues emotions, sex changes a woman's brain chemistry. I won't go into detail of dopamine, cortisol etc but how would all that sex affect them? Would it make them a sex addict? How would it affect their personal life? What do they live for? Do they feel any sense of accomplishments, moving forward with their life?
If Rupert is reading this, I think they would be very interesting topics.
