We have a culture where men are more embarrassed about paying for sex than having sex with women who are too drunk to consent.

Do As I Say, Not As I Do In the News (#1127)In the News (#1127)

Funny how many cops who are willing to pay prefer underage girls:

Larry Allen Clay...and Kristen Naylor-Legg...were both charged with sex trafficking of a minor [because]...on two separate occasions in June 2020, Clay...the Chief of Police for..Gauley Bridge [West Virginia]...paid $50 to Naylor-Legg to have sex with a 17-year-old girl [who is apparently a migrant because]...ICE [is involved]...

Crypto-moralists love their rats & their subtle dysphemisms:

...researchers...gave adolescent rats free access to a sugar-sweetened beverage [much more concentrated than] those that humans drink and then tested their memories using two methods when the rats became adults...the rats that had consumed [pathologically-]high levels [of] sugary drinks had more difficulty with memory that uses a region of the brain called the hippocampus compared with rats that only drank water...the [excessive]...sugar consumption seems to...[have] change[d]...the gut microbiome...[which in turn seems to] alter the function of a particular region of the brain [in rats]...

Standard Operating Procedure (#851)

"Foreign visitors do business with locals" is neither "misconduct" nor even news:

[UK charity] Oxfam is facing new allegations of...bullying and mismanagement only weeks after it was cleared to apply for government aid funds again following [white saviors' freakout] th[at some Oxfam employees purchased services from entrepreneurs in] Haiti...The charity has commissioned an independent investigation into accusations against senior managers in the Democratic Republic of Congo that allege intimidation, death threats, fraud and nepotism...[which arose] after...[prohibitionists were disappointed] that...the[re was insufficient hysteria about mundane transactions which brought much-needed]...money...in[to]...Haiti...[politicians bloviated] that the latest allegations strengthened the case for [denying poor countries]...water and sanitation projects [if]...an[yone among]...the emergency [workers has sexual desires]...

The Cold, Grey Light of Dawn (#991)

It looks as though Boudin is indeed following through with the policies he campaigned on:

Panelists at "Sex Work Decrim 101: Evidence-based approaches to policy"...call[ed] for the complete removal of sex work from the state's criminal law codes. One fan of that idea is San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin..."I'm a big believer in the decriminalization of sex work, which I think will help us become safer in concrete ways"...Boudin said..."It's not something I would ever prosecute, except under the most extraordinary circumstances, if it is consensual between adults"...Panelist Maggie McNeill...wanted to impress upon the attendees the importance of the district attorney's stance...she [also]...explained the distinction [of decriminalization versus legalization] through an analogy to the restaurant business...

" Tony Montoya, a gay man who is the president of the San Francisco Police Officers Association, did not respond to a request for comment [on a law forbidding a common pretext for harassing sex workers]."

When one rewards animals for acting a certain way, one shouldn't be surprised when that behavior increases:

Two [typical and representative] Texas [cop]s have been indicted fo[r murdering]...a Black man [by] repeatedly...taser[ing him during a pretext]...stop [being] filmed for a [cop glorification] TV show. Javier Ambler...[was murdered on] March 28, 2019...[during] a...traffic stop...[using the pretext that he] fail[ed] to dim headlights for oncoming traffic...the A&E network show Live PD...was canceled weeks after the killing of George Floyd amid widespread protests over police brutality and racism...Ambler was tasered four times, according to body cam footage of the [murder], despite telling the [pigs] that he suffered from...congestive heart failure... Ambler...can be heard [repeatedly] saying..."I can't breathe" ...

To Molest and Rape (#1110) In the News (#1127)In the News (#1127)

{sings} One of these things is not like the others ...

A [New Jersey cop named]...Richard F. Haffner...sexually assault[ed] a girl who worked for him at his...restaurant on numerous occasions starting when she was 15 years old, and then tr[ied] to get her to lie to investigators...Prosecutor[s seem to think it's important that he wasn't wearing his magical clown costume at the time]...Haffner [w]as...suspended without pay...[because prosecutors also] charged him with...offering an acquaintance money for sex...

The prohibitionist crusade against OnlyFans is heating up:

Paul Gosar [a politician from Arizona] sent a[n open] letter...to the Department of Justice demanding that OnlyFans be...prosecuted for "promoting prostitution" under a...Segregation-era law called the "White Slave Traffic Act"...also known as the Mann Act...[apparently because Gosar believes that viewing a picture of a woman taken in a different state is the equivalent of] transport[ing] women across state lines...
