Unionized prostitutes
I can't exactly say how I feel about Wayne Lucas call to unionize prostitution in Canada, given how I feel about them in my backyard (NIMBY syndrome, I fully admit).
First of all, I am not clear on the laws surrounding this. I understand that you can ask for sex, and you can ask for money, but you can't ask for sex explicitly in exchange for money (or goods, I imagine) so you have to word the transaction carefully. Anal is extra. But(t) how can you unionize something illegal?
Legalities aside, what would a unionized sex trade be like? Would there be professional associations of pimps, trannies, call girls and fetishists? Would they get government representation? Imagine how the profession could look. I can't. I like to think it would get really mainstream, and look fashionable, at least. Acceptable. But it wouldn't likely happen that way. Nothing would likely change in terms of outward appearance. And who would they fight? The management? Who's management? The government that wants them regulated? The public? (Funny how I separated those that are supposed to represent the public from the actual public.)
Too many questions. I think I like the idea of prostitutes rather than the reality, though.
