I have more than sympathy and empathy for any woman in that situation. But, there is a LOT more to consider.......women who endure being bullied and brutalized that do not wind up as a sex worker.
I would have supported an organization in the Underground Rail Road.
Anonymously I support woman’s shelters, giving a woman who is brave enough to escape either by herself of with her children!! It ain't perfect, but in a society that turns it’s back on people in desperate situations, shuns providing help that would deflect those lives off such a nightmarish life, but its the only solution that offers a safe haven for escapees, a meager safe start.
What does “boycotting” accomplish?
I avoid any hint of anything that approaches the stereo type of a pimp for my own safety. I like to avoid spending time with anyone who although has good reviews doesn't enjoy. For me that might indicate abuse, childhood abuse, abuse memories triggered during the meeting that they have “under control”, but that past blocks any possibility of the slightest pleasure.
Two concepts have ripped away mythologies and illusions for me about my exact relationship to any person, how close or far apart we are, lotteries inexorably fuse our kinship.
When one of the richest men in the world asserts he did NOT do it by himself, he was aided by Americans serving in WWII, and those whose lives preceded people in WWII, I listen. When warren Buffet asserts the Womb Lottery blessed him, I listen—his life would have been different if he was born in Bangladesh.
For years there has been controversy of genetics vs nature. What that means has been staring everyone in face for decades.
You are the result of a genetic lottery; a lottery determined who you are, what your abilities and capabilities will be.
Nurture? It seems as if some gene pools are packed with genes more likely to produce lottery winners than looser. AND, that pro-winner gene-pools have the largest pools of resources to capture the best Nature has to offer.
Why am I different from an abused woman? It doesn't have anything to do with what she has done; nothing to do with what I have done—Lotteries are what unify us. In some sense, although the gene pools were different, the process, the Lottery consumed the pool; what it spit out, we are all Lottery excrement, crapped into unequal resource pools.
Basically, not so different; basically the same even when you can't feel the affinity.
Womb lottery? Meet someone from a different country?
