I know it's a Sunday and this is a bit of a tough subject, I just read a previous article and couldn't resist this.
If prostitution could b legalised, I wonder who are the people to make that decision? And what will they base it on?
I mean there a two dimensions to this thing, no matter how flat you fry a pancake it will always have two sides, cash flow is low and grocery has got a whole lot more expensive. If ladies find a way to make a living in these hard times...why not? BUT....is that all south African women are worth? What would you say if your kid or younger sister aspires to be a sex worker? What happend to women empowerment and affirmative action?
We cannot as young sister be aspiring to this. Yes times can get hard, but isn't there something ELSE to do? clean windows, cashier or even at the garage? BUT sex workers a loaded. they get it good. A few minutes brings in a lot of cash, why would they want to quit that n do "decent" work that society approves of?
There are a lot of good causes in the neighborhoods we come from, so many young people doing extraordinary things. You as a South African have a right to use your own brain and come up with an idea that will be beneficial to you and the next common man. Why choose the easy way out simply because "times are tough" and you think you have no choice but to do a job you would never tell your parents about?
We have to talk more, listen more and socialize more. Someone, somewhere is doing what you are thinking of doing, you don't have to give up. It is a choice you have to make.
Anyway, its all kept in the hush-hush when this type of things happen and they are blamed on politics and shit like that.
So whoever is going to make this decision of legalizing prostitution, sex workers are also people and deserve to be treated equally. But I don't envy you, good luck and do let me know what you decide, because just changing a law does not magically make a problem disappear.
