Torillian said: On the second point "commercial receptacles for penises" I'm curious how your viewpoint takes into account the existence of male prostitutes. |
Very easily on two points:
1) Male prostitutes compose a fringe minority of the total and you know it (i.e. you're dismissing the rule for the exception), AND...
2) The sex industry is the only business on Earth that pays women more than men on an hourly basis. Every other line of work pays men higher rates than women on average. That the men are paid less than the women in hourly rates goes to discourage men from participating and conversely encourages women to do so. And it also reflects what we as a society value in women. We just simply don't prize men either exclusively or primarily for their sexual capacity, which is why male prostitutes are less valued than their female counterparts.
