I disagree. If this is true for women, it's more true for men.

There may be cultural expectations for men to assume a dominant role in a heterosexual relationship. In practice, this does not always happen.

You clearly haven't been around dominant women(or women with dominant impulses) much have you now........I personally have and could generate an entire thread with thousands of posts giving examples of women behaving in ways to assert power over others, including men but also other women. What kind of schools did you go to? Every woman I know IRL had told me about all of the dominance games that teenage girls play with each other.

In my opinion, your body is an aspect of yourself integral to your personhood. If you see bodies as something to be bought and sold, then I think something is wrong with you. I realise that my opinion isn't the mainstream one, and people tell me I'm the one who's messed-up and unhealthy, but I don't care. I believe in what I think is right.

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind....shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God....

Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.

Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.

What? know ye not that he which is joined to a harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

^You know that is absolutely not what I meant.

Well I went to HS were the girls played all those stupid dominance games but did NOT have men controlling their lives or boys bullying them. In fact, some of them were spoiled rotten by their fathers and many of them came from wealthy families.

Your family sounds horribly dysfunction, or at least it was for your mother and your grandmas. Clearly your family has an ugly history of rape and sexual abuse and I am not in any position to speculate why. There are families that are plagued by physical and sexual violence, but I know plenty of families where this has never been an issue and also a number of families were the Women are the ones who run things and make the important decisions. Your families *curse* isn't automatically what the rest of society is like.

I do perceive similarities between your outlook and Paul's.

The only difference is over who gives whom the cooties.

Those women who are privileged, would you say that their privilege is dependent on them playing by certain 'rules'? If so, where do you think those rules originate?

That's a very big difference, so much so that it's a complete reversal of Paul's position.

If you are going to say, 'men have to play by the rules, too', then yes, patriarchy controls men, too.

The difference is trivial. The net result is identical: no-one should hire a harlot. Whether the client is sordid before the encounter (and then sullies the harlot), or becums sordid as a result of the encounter, it is all the same.

My stance on the issue represents the complete reversal of Paul's position.

Your outlook is fundamentally Christian.

Women who are privileged are not constrained by rules. They create their own rules, to control the less-privileged.

The Patriarchy did abolish legal prostitution, but I don't see the Matriarchy trying to bring it back.

"Patriarchy" is starting to sound like the kind of term that Conspiracy Theorists love to throw around. Now I'm using it.

Your outlook is fundamentally sophistic.

I don't think the prostitute becomes sullied by accepting clients or that the clients are sullied. I reject any notion of sin and sullying altogether. I simply think that the mindset of a john is an abusive mindset. When I talk about physical self being important to one's self concept, I mean pyschologically, not spiritually.

You just don't care.

All you want to do is talking about cumming and hot pieces of ass.

You're not going to make me think differently about johns with such behaviour.
