So I'm still on the fish kick. Here is another related story. It just touches my heart that these women are trying to better themselves. But there are so many layers here....
These issues touch on our culture and how we treat each other. It reveals the dangers of treating half your population like objects. It reveals that our positive actions can reverberate over generations. And it gives me hope.
On of my soap box issues, if you will, has been how people treat each other; about bodily autonomy and mutal respect. About common decency. And stories like these, and this beautiful young man, give me hope.

I'm getting buried under all the bad news lately and then I come across This.
THIS!!!!
What a great story.
And it goes to show how women are exploited for sex WORLD WIDE. These pieces of crap that call themselves "men" expecting these women to prostitute themselves out to feed their families is an outrage. And the bastards won't even wear condoms to stop the spread of HIV that's such an epidemic in their country. Not to mention preventing unwanted pregnancies.
This is an awesome story! Read it!

The King James bible teaches rape concubines and mass violent abortions of pregnant women with swords to " be ripped up " and " keep the virgins for yourselves " in 4 separate bible instructions..... religion is about raping women and brainwashing boys to do violence upon neighboring tribes long before armies and temples were ever built

How much better would the world be if men just learned [as many of us do] to flog their own dolphins?

How much better if we are just taught bodily autonomy and respect....

@Freespirit64 why not teach both?

Like the story I saw about the Islamic temporary marriages in Iran. Basically the Imans act as pimps and sell out young women or girls to men for sexual pleasure. To get around the Koranic laws, they term it a marriage and perform a token ceremony. The women get to be abused and mistreated, the cleric has an income source since he can resell them when each "husband" is done and ready to trade in. Fuckers!

Man we suck as a gender.

Not all of you, ok? I love men! There's lots of good things about you guys!
But we're seriously ignoring whole generations of boys and young men who must be taught bodily autonomy and respect. Unfortunately, these young males aren't getting the role models they need.

@Freespirit64 they aren't getting the role models they need because we suck. 😉

Because women are there for men's convenience... didn't you get the memo? Just ask Impotus.....

FINALLY someone who's read the memo.

I know....ugh....
