as far as women as sex objects, sorry this doesn’t fly with me, men are sex objects for women, men are sex objects for men, women for women and women for men, exploiting this natural desire is the same thing as exploiting any other saleable product and I have no trouble with it

I beg to differ with you–sex is not a “product”.

Just goes to show how warped our view of sex has become.

as far as women as sex objects, sorry this doesn’t fly with me, men are sex objects for women, men are sex objects for men, women for women and women for men, exploiting this natural desire is the same thing as exploiting any other saleable product and I have no trouble with it

in fact I know women (and men) who are empowered by the industry and exploit the industry far more then the industry exploits them

but that’s another thread and discussion as you point out

as for my compassion for this women, of course I have compassion for the women, as I said I think there should be rules in place to insure she still has gainful employment with hooters that does not involve a position that might turn customers away so I agree with you there of course

As for your analogy, women with bruises are not on the same level as cars with dents.

And I have a lot to say on the sex industry and women as objects…but that will start a war on this thread.

By the responses I’ve seen here…a glaring lack of compassion and concern for this woman, who was beaten.
