People just don't understand how deadly chicken pox can be. Yes, it is a common childhood illness, and YES most people who get it are FINE. But most people who get Polio were fine too.

I don't think I have ever met a sex positive feminist that think *most* teen prostitutes are doing it by choice. I'm sure if there are teen prostitutes that are not victims of trafficking they are in the vast minority, if they exist at all.

I'm a sex positive feminist who supports the decriminalization of prostitution…

And, in addition to that- there are pretty sticky situations when putting men (or those who may be perceived as men) into an area where females reside. I know for example if a trans woman needs assistance in a woman's shelter, it can get sticky because many of the other residents who are very new victims may deal with…

This, exactly. Word for fucking word.

That makes me miss the 90's SO MUCH.

Yep, this.

I work in HIV, and while some of your facts are correct, your interpretation and understanding are sooooo off the mark.

So what is your best suggestion for how to deal with prostitution, including street prostitution? Best case scenario, what does the law in Canada look like a year from now?

Oh god. SO true. This is depressing.

Good Lord, how dare you bring an understanding of nutrition, chemistry and science into this discussion? What do you think these people are, reasonable, informed human beings?

That doesn't say that the HPV vaccine is less effective on black women, but that the types of HPV the vaccine protects against aren't as common in black women.

I'm not in perfect health at all- I never in my life have claimed to be. But I am a public health professional. I have chosen to dedicate my life to changing the behaviour of others to ensure they are in better health.

MMMmmm
