A newest survey( 2011, Apple News' survey, whether to establish the red-lightdistricts, Plus website http://www.plus28.com/thread-4275507-1-1.html) which I found accomplished by Apple News shows that there are 49.88% people agree with the establishment of red-light districts. However, when they are asked if they agree to establish red-light districts near there residential areas, only 34.20%people show there agreement. And people who show disagreement in this survey say it would lead to the ruin of morality. From this survey, it shows that we change our concept about sexual industry nowadays. It is acceptable for us to regard it as a legal occupation and receive the establishment of the specific working areas. Nevertheless, we still have many negative impression about prostitutes. So we don’t want the red-light districts established near our residential areas. We still see prostitution as a work that would break social morality. This becomes a strong barrier that results in many people’s disagreement.
Some additional people in society think that women should abide by the three obediences and four virtues. If women have sexual relationship with other men for the money, they are not the good women that they expect. However, women have the rights to choose the occupations they want, they have the bodies decision-making rights to have sexual relation with whoever. It is women that control their own bodies. Both male and female have freedom to have sex. But we tend to condemn women when it comes to sexual transaction. In Josephine Chuen-juei Ho’s book The Straightforward Women 豪爽女人( 1994,Crown Culture Coporation ) she says that the stronger sex suppression and gender inequality in society leads to the consequence that women can’t show their sexual passion directly. Taiwan’s common environment of sex culture asks women to be submissive to men’s sexual desire. And people would think that it is not proper when a woman asks for sex actively. Under such a masculine priority concept, a woman uses her body to earn money is not accepted by people.
And people also say that sex workers engage in sexual transaction would ruin the social morality, and they are against the social ethic. An organization which was found by Margo St. James called COYOTE(Call Off Your Old Tired Ethics) that advocates decriminalization of prostitution happens to respond to those people’s saying. Society rules are changing all the time. There are not a fixed standard to tell us what is moral and what is immoral. And prostitution is existed in society actually. Our nonacceptance of prostitution comes from the thinking that we don’t see it as a proper occupation. But why not? The sex workers don’t steal others money. They use their ability to earn money. Some sex worker even become professional after they experience every sexual transaction. They can control the contexts of their sex works, to avoid their bodies to be hurt when they are working. They know how to use their professional sexual performance to attract consumers, to please them. This way, they produce a way to protect their bodies decision-making powers.
Like other occupations, prostitution can be professional. It makes woman know how to enjoy themselves when working, and enables them to know the beauty of their bodies. It is nothing to do with the concept of morality or immorality.
I agree that" Society rules are changing all the time. There are not a fixed standard to tell us what is moral and what is immoral." I think maybe we wait for a little while, then the society will accept this idea progressively. On the other hand, if the red-light districts are supposed to establish near the mountains or somewhere distant from downtown, I think it is a good chance for development.
回覆刪除Finally, it is hard for me to imagine prostitution can be professional. As a woman, I wouldn't be a prostitute just for proving my body decision-making right. I believe most of the prostitutes would choose another career if they have chance. In my opinion, prostitution is take advantage of sexuality. When the deal is done, women's bodies are nothing but commodities. But a human's bodies shouldn't be treated in that way. It is tramping on women's dignities. Except for those who are forced to be a prostitute, they have to be prostitutes because they are sold or trapped.I think it will be better if the government put more emphasis on helping prostitutes changing their careers, instead of negotiating where the red-light districts are.
I agree with that women have rights to choose what kind of job they want, even using their body; it is also a choice. Socirty rules are changing all the time, however, people's thinking toward sexual industry and traditional morality cerebration can not be changed and accept all of the innovations in a short time. From the education we used to accept, teachers taught us that sexual industry is not good for our society. I beleve that even in these days, althought the decriminalize of red-light districts are adopeted by govermaent; there will not has a teacher to teach their studens to accept red-light districts, what's more, they won't tell their students to giving respect to sex workers.
回覆刪除I think that if we want people to accept sexual industry and won't see it as a shame, we should first take advantage of education to teach people and try to make them accept the newpoint and new concept- sex workers have right to accept respect and also, they have positive rights to choose their job just as doctor and teacher. People cannot always use the excuse like: red-light districts will be a bad influence to childen, or red-light district will break the peace of the area where it is be palced. Goverment should face the problem directly and tried to figure out the way to slove it.
