Fascinante entrevue avec une ex-prostituée


Tracy Quan , qui a écrit dans Lingua Franca, Congressional Quarterly et The Boston Globe, a été prostituée pendant 15 ans à Londres et à Manhattan.

Extrait:

Quan: I'm not concerned that prostitution is exploitive. What does exploitive mean? People exploit minerals and their own power and each other. Exploitation is a fairly neutral term. The question is whether somebody is being abused or harmed physically. These people are trying to cast prostitution as something evil rather than something exploitive.

Prostitutes exploit their clients all the time. And they're often exploited by madams. The idea of clients exploiting anyone is kind of laughable. It's like someone saying that someone running a shoe store is exploiting the labor of an employee. That's how businesses run. It's a fairly neutral term. The question is whether it's abusive.
