Buy a clue:  READ before SPEWING. Not to mention you come into THIS THREAD about women kidnapped, raped and tortured, talking about the presidential campaign, no mention of the kidnaps, rapes and tortures of women. You're out of your mind. I am so goddamn done with this election, it absolutely STINKS, and I am sick to death of how destructive it is to women.  God.

I’m not so sure about either of these assumptions. Condomless sex for $30 isn’t commonly found among unforced prostituted women, and I don’t know why the same excuses men have always made about how financially, sexually, and spiritually beneficial prostitution is for women wouldn’t rear their heads among these men as they do among other men.
