Quotation of the Day for June 12, 2014"Let's assume that the Conservatives are genuinely concerned about "exploited persons" - and that, being adults, sentient in the 21st century, they have no interest in punishing a demographic merely because sex is involved in its profession. "Now, let's remove sex from the equation (sorry) and imagine the state of affairs that would ensue were these same "protections" applied to a different but also legal trade. Let's pick one largely practised by women who often work alone with clients, sometimes in their own homes. "Let's get really concerned about piano teachers, who, after all, are entitled to the same protection under the law as sex workers - that is, full protection." - Tabatha Southey, on the unveiling of the Canadian Government's Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act.
