  • Analogies nearly by definition will be flawed. What I did was attempt to put the patterns into a more recognizable form so that those seemingly unable to grasp the salient points could find their way.

    I'm astonished and pleased that you wrote such a long and detailed response, you seem to have an insightful grasp on the situation.

    • thanks. I just happened to be in some kind of contemplative mood last night and felt like writing a lot. I swear I'm not as smart or wise as that comment makes me seem. Also thank you for asking such an interesting and thought provoking question.

      • I'm glad that we could tap into that mood, I thought what you wrote was very insightful. This subject is very near and dear to my heart for personal reasons that I'm not going to entirely divulge here. But I hope that if the astute reader can extrapolate the inferred meaning of that last sentence they will see that I am someone that is well spoken, hopefully intelligent, and yet... and yet someone that has lived the darker side of this topic matter and come out bruised but not broken. I will admit that I have a certain bias because I've seen how women that try to leave all manner of sex work are marginalized and discriminated against and it's by and large by men that have been consumers of the product. And what is the product? It is nothing less that the life, body, soul, dignity, and sanity of the women that were involved in entertaining them. And that dear readers fucking sucks. I know I have presented myself in a way that is likely astonishing to those of you that can't imagine a well spoken whore or porn actress but believe me I've done dirtier things with my mouth than use it to utter swear words.

        I think what I've set out to delve into is largely done. I will continue to monitor this thread and perhaps create others in the future but I would like to thank all of you that participated in this little experiment with seriousness and dignity.
