I’m not even going to try to wrap my head around “child prostitution but it’s woke” and instead just note that you can get people to stake out some really gross positions by having someone they don’t like take the opposite view

That has to be what’s going on here, right?

Across the United States, there are markets for sex with children that are not terribly dissimilar to ones in Cambodia, Thailand, and India. Girls are sold for sex in this country with the same disregard for human dignity as those other nations, and they are often tortured in the same ways when they try to escape.

According to the FBI, there are currently an estimated 293,000 American children at risk of being exploited and trafficked for sex. The majority of them are girls between the ages of 12 and 14. These are middle school girls who should be focused on history and math class and playing soccer with friends.

Instead, they are abducted or lured by traffickers and, once in the commercial sex trade, they are routinely raped, beaten into submission, and sometimes even branded. Yes, they are literally branded like cattle, sometimes on their faces. If they build up the courage to try to run away, the traffickers torture or gang rape them. Often, they do both.

These are girls like Jackie, who ran away from an abusive home at 13 only to be found alone and hungry by a trafficker who promised to love her like a father, a boyfriend or Prince Charming. He was nothing of the sort. He sold her to at least six different men every night. When she begged him for food or rest, he beat her.

Unfortunately, in the media, law, and policy, Jackie and other trafficked and exploited girls in the United States are not treated as victims of child rape and sexual violence. They are instead considered delinquents and arrested as “child prostitutes.” More than 1,000 children every year are arrested for prostitution, even though most of these children are not of the legal age to consent to sex at all, let alone commercial sex.

Describing trafficked and exploited children as prostitutes is a contradiction in terms. “Child prostitute” suggests consent or agency, when, in this case, there really is none. Moreover, the term “child prostitute” has the effect of dismissing the victimization and abuse that has been committed against the child, and makes it somehow different or more tolerable from other forms of rape or sexual abuse of minors.

Simply put, there is no difference between raping a child, and paying to rape a child.

That is why the Human Rights Project for Girls (Rights4Girls) and The McCain Institute, with support from Google, are joining forces to launch the No Such Thing campaign with one mission: To make clear to the American people that there is no such thing as a child prostitute. There are only victims and survivors of child rape.

Girls who are repeatedly raped, abused and exploited are not child prostitutes. They are victims and survivors of child rape, and they deserve all the legal protections, support, and services afforded to other victims of the same kind of abuse.

This weekend is the Super Bowl. Large sporting and entertainment events have a reputation of attracting illicit behavior as well as loyal fans to host cities. This year, and in the year ahead, let’s make it clear that girls who are being bought and sold for sex are not “child prostitutes”, they are victims and survivors of child rape.

Language matters. How we are labeled affects how we are treated. Each of us can ensure that the language used, in the media, in policy, and in the public square, gives truth and dignity to what trafficked girls endure.

It's not like Brace tracked down and doxxed trans sex workers. It was literally a New York Times article. The same publication that cheers on and justifies the economic and social conditions that make something like survival sex work necessary.

Gwen Snyder bills herself as an expert in the altright because she "decodes" 4chan memes like honkler and clownworld. I shudder to think what may happen to us if her voice is silenced by the brocialist p*dc*st*rs.

The weirdness for me comes from the New York Times role. They aren't dispassionately describing the events in that woman's life, they are accepting the justification for the necessity of 13 year old engaging in sex work. The NYT editorializes even in their straight news, profiles get even more slack for writers' views.

You can write the same stuff about why some Black boys in ghettos are advised to join gangs by their older peers. But I don't think the New York Times, in this time of demonization of urban crime, would describe that in such a sympathetic way.


it might make a bit more sense when you read up on the author: https://www.margotboyerdry.com/

quote:

Margot’s writing is informed by a curiosity about the ways big social movements shape our day-to-day behavior. That interest began to crystalize while she was pursuing her BA in religion (which was effectively a sociology degree) at Wesleyan University, and took root during a semester studying Islam and colonization in Morocco.

Fluent in French and interested in the colonizer, she moved to Paris after school, where she briefly taught high school English to (mostly) first-generation vocational high school students from French-speaking nations, and less briefly ran the literary lecture series at the American Library in Paris.

The next natural move was to marketing at tech companies in New York. (There actually is a through-line here, hang on.) For two years, Margot worked in Google’s wearables division (if you’re thinking, “Google Glass,” you’re correct and she is sorry), and from there, moved to an office approximately three blocks south to head up marketing at a betaworks company called Poncho, the idea being to study human behavior by way of steering consumers toward a brand.

If you read the newsletter page, here’s where the plot shifts: while at betaworks, Margot started publishing a newsletter, Lorem Ipsum, on the side, and learned that she was a writer.

Now she writes the news in places like the New York Times, The Guardian, and New York Magazine. And her marketing experience goes to good use in her copy work, which she does for companies as big as Facebook and as small as her friend’s VR studio, Superbright.

For fun, she does comedy (sometimes standup, sometimes improv (trained at UCB, RIP)), rides her bike around the city, and pokes around every possible corner of the Park Slope Food Coop. She also appreciates math-like punctuation.

Now that you know about what Margot does and why, perhaps you need help with some words or ideas. Or you need a panelist for your conference. Get in touch.
