So what started this latest round of sex-industry defending threads? (HOF THREAD) [View all]

Anyone know? I know I was sucked into the discussions via a pro-industry OP.

IMO you're either pro-industry or pro-human rights. You can't be both.

Anyway. I was wondering because it seems like there's a growing sense of desperation in these pro-industry threads. The wild, logic-free analogies. The glaring straw man arguments. The shameless mischaracterization of other people's statements and positions.

As I said elsewhere: The flailing desperation in their dozens of threads is palpable.

It's as if the fact that the most progressive, gender egalitarian countries are slowly dissolving the imbalance which has fueled the sex industry for so long is viewed as a threat to something they feel entitled to... or something.

I mean, combine that fact with the fact that more and more women are embracing feminism at younger and younger ages - and not the fun kind, but the seriously critical kind - it must seem like a very threatening thing, to some.
