Someone apparently needs to link Tyra to this thread.
Legalize prostitution. It gets rid of a large section of the criminal element involved, as well as makes it taxable and controllable. What are the problems with prostitution? The unchecked STDs, the violence, etc. All gone with the legalization of it. Operating without a license? Arrested, no license means not paying proper taxes, tax fraud. It would also help undermine underage prostitutes and child sex slaves. No license for them. You can regulate it. Plus if it's something people are consenting to do, then it's fine. The only reason not to legalize it is this "moral obligation" that puts your morals above societies desires and the safety of these girls.
Strip clubs are ok, but cam girls aren't? Lolwut? Cam girls are in a better environment, are much more safe, plus get to be their own bosses. How is that not better than stripping in a club? Oh right, because cam girls plunge things into their places, which isn't ok. Well, it is, but only when no one is watching. Plus as a cam girl, you decide where the line is. In a world where we publicly humiliate people on TV all the time for fun and money, you'd think we'd be a little passed this.
Pornography is the huge issue for me. You're paying people, to have sex with each other, but you film it, so it's not prostitution, it's totally fine. I'm not against porn in anyway (duh) but the conflict of this statement drives me mad. Moral of the story, if you pay a prostitute to "be in a film" then it's legal. Just like how escorts are "paid for their time" not for sex.
Cheerleaders, models, actresses; All of these jobs are aimed at sex appeal. Granted not all actresses are hot, but look at the ones that the media talks about all the time. It's all still selling sex, they just package it differently.
Peanut Butter shouldn't be so discriminatory.
I should also mention one of the least formally educated, funniest men in the last 100 years in America is Groucho Marx. A comedian that could hold his own in intellectual debates because while all the doctors and professors heard lectures on books, Groucho was actually reading them. Similar to me, I do any work I can right now, but I'm probably more intelligent most of the people I help or work for or even see most of the time. A man is not his job. Even a patent clerk could very well be one of the greatest mathematicians in the world. Same shit with age. I used to get ignored because I was a kid when I was younger. However I was at a party with some big business guys and they listened to me and their only response was "wow, this kid is smart, I agree." When you consider kids are dumb, and old people are crazy, it's a wonder anything gets done. Especially when you take into account that most things are still "old boy's clubs" that try and exclude women. So take out anyone under 25, older than 65, or female (hell take out anyone of color too because whitey doesn't give a damn) and you have society right there. Oh shi- republicans are running the world.
I like how Tyra did a show on how fatties are the last people discriminated against. Except all of the other discrimination.
