Men Who Pay For Sex Also In Debt To Society


For example, significantly fewer sex buyers, 47 percent against 70 percent, reported that they were taught about respect for women in sex education classes.



What's interesting about this study isn't that it found that men who buy sex are more likely to commit crimes; it seems like a redundant no-brainer that men committing a crime- paying for sex from a prostitute- were more likely to commit a crime. This also far from implies that every single man who has ever bought a lap dance is a Patrick Bateman-in-waiting, either. It seems that willful blindness to the plight of exploited sex workers is a symptom of a deeply seated problem in our society, and that there's no clear solution to eradicating the sexism at the root of it.
