History is our witness to this truth.
Whorephobia keeps Recommendation 86 from protecting sex workers as it should. But it is a start. A beautiful start. In my book, “Are They Bad Girls or Brilliant?”, I laud the Recommendation with zeal; it was presented to President Obama and accepted by him in 2011, during one of my updates of the book. It felt so good to be able to work that into my pages.
We shall overcome. It will just take time. We may not see it in our lifetime. But our grandchildren might.
Here’s an excerpt that encapsulates the future I dream of:
Irregardless of what pimps or abolitionists want, in the wake of establishing whore validation, exploitive pimping would vanish. Likewise, abolition would become a dusty relic. Examining the past record of abuses to whores would disturb, but would also be amusing. It would be like observing the banned right of husbands to “possess” (that means rape) their wives, or the old-fashioned outrage of chastity belts. To that end, whore schools could actually function as museums.
(Hey, Ma! Look at this! It says here it used to be men forced women to have sex with other men, for money, and the men kept all the money! And even the women who kept all the money were screwed, cause they weren’t allowed to do it!
Jeeeeeeesh!!! That musta SUCKED!!!)
