In short the Canadian organisation Centre d'aide et de lutte contre les agressions à caractère sexuel (CALACS) which stands for Help Center and fight against sexual assault claims that "subsistence prostitution" as a result of insufficient monthly earnings is a form of sexual violence therefore men are to be blamed. Here are two articles I found in the local news paper. Poorly translated from french by google. http://tinyurl.com/qxgvcs3 and http://tinyurl.com/oa4vfxw This form of prostitution takes place in a region where local economy is based mostly on salt mining, fishing or construction, yet the argument is that local women (single moms in majority) are forced into prostitution to make each month ends meat due to the (dramatic music) 25% pay gap ... while that's true due to the nature of jobs both genders employ I assume there ought to be a pay gap. Sounds like they are pushing for equal pay no matter the job type, and the "sexual violence" is only the stick, but I can only speculate. Oh feminism! you bankrupted the family cell in those really harsh regions and yet you come back and cry unfairness in pay? Women won't accept those working conditions anytime soon, while men break their necks at -25ºC for a buck, women only have to offer consensual sex for a buck. Where living in poverty pushes women into prostitution, men is pushed into homelessness or extreme work conditions, I'm inclined to think that women there have it easier than the men. Pisses me off! Feeling ranty, now it's done.
