    Default My dignity

    My dignity is not based on maintaining my chastity—it’s based on maintaining my control over my body. When I say “he took my dignity” and you respond, “you had no dignity because you’re a sex worker” you misunderstand what I’m saying. I’m not saying he stole my innocence. I’m saying he robbed me of my control over my body. And it boils my blood.

    Because, damn it, I’m running a business just like any other business! And just like any other business, I reserve the right to refuse service to ANYONE!

    (This is a reponse to the earlier thread concerning the assault on an Australian brothel worker who was raped and battered.)

    And, secondly, her consent was conditional on him wearing a condom. Once he took it off, that's it! Consent revoked! In American law, battery is non-consensual touching which may be conditional. Once the condition was breached, consent is reovked and any further touching is battery. ETA: Ashcraft v. King (1991) established a performed surgery was battery because a there was a condition that family-donated blood would be used and outside blood was used instead.

    this trial happened a while back but i remember reading about it and thinking what a tragedy it was. i remember trying to find the name of the u.s. sailor rapist, because i wanted to know if the military was prosecuting him, but i couldn't find any information.

    Did someone suggest that a prostitute doesn't have the right to refuse to have sex with someone or revoke consent? If so, they need to get their ass off stripperweb and die in a gutter.

    link to this thread please?
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    I can't find the thread yet (still looking) but here are a couple articles about the event:



    ETA: still can't find it. So, either it was removed, I'm bad at searches, or I'm mistaken and I saw the thread on another forum (unlikely, considering the subject matter).
