Congresswoman Claims Climate Change Will Turn Women Into Prostitutes
 

lucky for you :1orglaugh

CA Dem Warns Global Warming Will Make Women Prostitutes

lolz, so now, not only is curbing pollution a political issue, it's a gender issue.


https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-...lution/29/text

The link domain discredits the story before I even click it.

Ok I think I'm now in favor of global warming...

Sounds very plausible that climate change forces more women as prostitutes. Not that many rich bitches, despite of the name, sells their asses. And the prostitutes already come from less developed/ poorer countries. Just few days ago there was story how Nigerian women are brought as prostitutes to Europe using false promises.

Gonna pimp your women?

Sensationalist headline but drought destroys traditional livelihood --> farmers emigrate to cities --->women end up in prostitution isn't exactly a stretch.

don't try this on GFY...

but enacting legislation about that is quite the stretch. the point of the bill is it will require ALL future climate change legislation to take a gender bias.

jtfc:

(7) encourages the President to--
(A) integrate a gender approach in all policies and
programs in the United States that are globally related
to climate change;

I wonder how Costa Rica feels about that...since prostitution is completely legal there. A lot of their women are already hooking so does that mean that Costa Rica women will not be affected by "global warming"?

And does that mean that during the time periods of history where the earth was warmer that it is now...that women were all prostitutes?

We need Al Gore to clear this shit up.

it's pretty sad this woman thinks so low of all women and their ability to adapt to change.

more victim mentality legislation.

in your list you forget to include [email protected] :2 cents:

WOW, that's a pretty big list.

California nut jobs in politics as usual

Climate change causes everything - especially rampant lunacy amongst our elected officials.

The lunatics are now running the asylum.


.

Prostitution is adaptation.

And it is society wide issue; prostitution is just one part in it. Women are not some separate specie to begin with.

it appears you are posting in the wrong thread because none of that has anything to do with what i wrote.

You talked about inability to adapt; I pointed out that turning to prostitution is adaptation.

Also, thinking about low or not; there is strong connection between poverty and prostitution.

no, the congresswoman is tallking about women's inability to adapt. I'm talking about what a stupid cunt she is.

No, the congresswoman talked about adaptation called as prostitution. :)

assumed widespread forced prostitution may be understood as women adapting in your country, it's not here. fucking new female cfo of google just got a $70 million pay deal and i'm supposed to buy into the bullshit argument? please.

especially when it comes to trying to legislate something so fucking stupid.

nevertheless, you are making a tangential point.

back to my main point. you really think it's smart to enact legislation to make climate change a fucking gender issue favoring women?

Was that congresswoman talking about US solely? If so, either he thinks or US is so called less developed country. I though he was talking about the impact on women at global scale.

I don't know about that legislation thing. I only read the quote you posted and it just basically says that the impact on women has to be examined more closely.

"encourages the use of gender-sensitive frameworks in
developing policies to address climate change, which account
for the specific impacts of climate change on women; "


I know that US folks are quite US centric folks, but come on. The whole world now?

"Lee introduced House Concurrent Resolution 29, warning that women will be forced into “transactional sex” to get enough food and clean water — all because global warming will create “conflict and instability” in the world."

CA Dem Warns Global Warming Will Make Women Prostitutes

that's not at all what it states.

it's a bill that if passed will make it a legal requirement that future US law will need to consider gender in any climate change US government policy. policy = law.

now are you starting to see what a cunt this woman is?

she wants to make that shit you just wrote a USA law.

Okay, but policy is not = law. At least around here we have legal structure and any thing in it, is some sort policy, even if it is not law; actually laws are not usually referred as policy, despite being important part in forming a policy. You know, if the mayor of New York decides that city's workers should be more happy looking when at work; it is a policy.

the mayor of NYC is free to make that policy as long as it abides by all laws.

policy is worthless if it's not enforced/protected by law. that's why policy is tantamount to law. and

that is what she is attempting to do..if this bill passes, it becomes a law. consequently, policy must follow the laws and this law states that it will be a legal requirement to include women specific policy.

I don't get it. I am now going to have some hot debate about Somalia's new law in Somali-forum.

that's weird because you just had it a minute ago:

You guys must hang around the wrong prostitutes. lol

All the ones I know are independent and make more money than any of you in this thread by far.

i'm not in the rat race, couldn't care less who or what makes more than me. there's always a faster gun. very happy and contented with my current lifestyle.

This is what you get when you miss that one fucking class where they introduced the prostitution as one potential career option.

Though, I am happy that you make decent bucks selling your own ass, working in this honourable profession. I assume that you meant hanging around with fellow workers.

Not quite sure what you're saying. Translation isn't coming across.

But my point is...the girls I know are making a fortune doing what they enjoy.

And yes I know that lots of women (and girls) are forced into prostitution by criminals.

That's why I said you guys must be hanging with the "wrong" ones. ALL the ones I'm friends with are making great money, traveling the world, and living a great life that most people can only dream of.

Doing what they enjoy? Well, I guess there are some of those too.

I don't hang around with prostitutes, and the only one I know even superficially; came here to be a singer (they had promised so to her). Yea right, now she sings with her arse.

I think that the translation came across just fine.

It is not too late; Robbie just told how fancy job it is. Though you might have to work with that fast gun issue; don't shoot too hasty, even if it's Merica after all. :)

enjoying what you do is far from legislating a gender-biased climate change law based on assumed forced prostitution.

i've thought about it. then the next set of swells come in and i forget about it. :1orglaugh

The story is good and makes sense. It's the headline that is bullshit. Then again, the site that its on ...



You're missing the point of the article. People will do anything to get food and water to their families.


Don't ignore the message because of the stupid headline. If climate change affects things the way some scientists predict they will, women and men could become very desperate. What would you do to get water for your children?


She said : "Food insecure women with limited socioeconomic resources may be vulnerable to situations such as sex work, transactional sex, and early marriage that put them at risk for HIV, STIs, unplanned pregnancy, and poor reproductive health."

Exactly what is stupid about that?


There are 1 to 2 million female prostitutes in the USA already.


Nice language. You do know that there are women who frequent GFY too, right? Anyway.

You should do a little research. Barbara Lee has a pretty good list of accomplishments. Site xxx says "Congresswoman Lee's accomplishments in promoting effective, bipartisan legislation to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS and bring treatment to the infected have earned her international recognition as a leader in the fight against global HIV/AIDS. Her bills to create the Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, to protect AIDS orphans, and to create a $15 billion fund to fight HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria were all signed into law."

Why do you completely dismiss this person as a "cunt"? What you have earned international recognition for?

{silence}

Take it easy man...

Hey man, I can't help if you are sexually repressed and don't think that women might enjoy sex. That's your problem.

Me? I think sex is the greatest feeling in the world. And IF people would pay me to do it? I'd be doing it all the time.

Sorry that sex is "nasty" to you. :(

Women do enjoy sex, but that doesn't apply that much to prostitutes when they are working. Being prostitute isn't very desirable profession for women, and not because they wouldn't enjoy sex.

i think that woman is a cunt politician and you can gofuckyourself if you have a problem with what i think.

mrkprince is the last guy i'd expect to grasp the stupidity of making climate change legislation a gender issue.

red and blue are fighting it out over man-made climate change even being a reality and this nitwit adds to the distortion by adding in a gender bias based on assuming women are weak and can't adapt in proper ways, consequently getting forced into prostitution.


fuck her.

Everything has to be about something else when it comes to these groups. Comical isnt it. And yet, the public laps that shit up.

Edit, I see what Mark is saying there actually... make sense.. but I think many men would turn to prostitution as well in the end if SHTF

The way the info is presented leaves a bad taste in the mouth so its hard to take the woman seriously.

The main reason it's not a "very desirable profession" is because of our society looking down on them.

Now when it's MEN being "Gigolo's" (male prostitutes), then everybody thinks they are GREAT! They even have their own show on ShowTime Cable (the show is called "Gigolos")

Nobody says that they aren't having a great time.

No. Only WOMEN are made to be "victims" every time.

I think it's bullshit.

Women DO enjoy sex. And of course when they are "working" it might not be as great of a sexual experience as it would be with someone that they desired.

But having said that...I find that sex is a lot like pizza. Even when it's "bad", it's still pretty damn good! lol

And when a woman has the choice of making $250,000 or more a year tax free (in cash) having sex...OR working 40 hours a week to make $30,000 a year (and pay taxes on it).
Well, it's a no-brainer.

I only wish I could get paid like that for having sex. Then you could "pity" me and tell me what a victim I am. lol

You should think about it for a minute.
Why do men ALWAYS think that women are "victims" and if a woman uses her body to make money she is "bad". But if a guy does it...he's a "stud". :(

Male prostitutes are great? Well, I can't speak for US, but around here that is neither very desirable profession.

Also, women and men are different regarding sex to begin with. Women have to be careful who to sleep with, men not so much. It is "hardwired" due to biological realities. Women also usually require somewhat different frames for the sex. Being prostitute doesn't quite fit into those frames; those include for example feeling about being safe.

Society does look somewhat down to prostitutes, although not that much anymore, at least around here. The "non-desired" part comes mostly from other things, especially as not that many know your profession to begin with.

that's a nicer way to put it. and that's right, women won't be the only ones scrambling to make ends meet.

ftr, that woman represents the 13th district of CA, a region that the FBI dubbed a "high intensity child prostitution area". but she's more concerned with what-ifs 50+ years from now.

Since you said yourself that you don't really know any women who are prostitutes, then I have to take your line of thinking as it comes from someone not speaking from a place of real world knowledge on it.

Just goes to show that yeah...society has a lot of stupid preconceived notions about women in the sex industry. And your ideas about the women who are in the industry reflect those societal misconceptions.

FYI: You think that women need to "feel" safe.
Not all women are scared of their own shadows. And women making a lot of money in the sex industry are seeing clients who are millionaires. It's not the same as the cliche of the "street hooker".

It's very wealthy men having desirable women...usually in a 5 star suite that most people in this thread wouldn't want to spend the money to stay in because it's so expensive.

I'm just pointing out to you that there are millions of women in the sex industry who are NOT "forced" to do anything and many of them that could do "normal" jobs but CHOOSE to make a lot more money and not work very hard to do that.
I call them "smart".

Wouldn't you do the same thing IF anybody would pay you that kind of money? I know I would! lol

I love to fuck. And if I could make a quarter million dollars a year traveling the world first class, staying in 5 star hotels, sleeping in all day, and then fucking every night...I'd be doing it.
