However, when police spend too much time hassling the brothels and not enough time cracking down on illegal pimping/human trafficking from Eastern Europe (as is the case in England and, as I understand it, the Aussies aren't much better), it doesn't do much good. However, regulation at least requires brothels to run like real businesses, and the sex workers are held to regular doctor's visits to make sure they aren't carrying any diseases, so the health risks are generally minimized.<BR/><BR/>The feminist idea of dignified, empowered prostitution is lost on me too, though. But don't worry, it's only a few real goofballs saying that; most feminists are just as humorless and bitter towards sexuality of any stripe as ever.DKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16481228767276049627noreply@blogger.com
