Just a short follow-up to yesterday’s post. It is a sad day. You can read more here.
And Kim Pate, executive director of the Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies called it a “sad day.”
“We have now confirmed that it’s okay to buy and sell women and girls in this country,” she said. “I think generations to come, our daughters and granddaughters will look back and say, ‘what were they thinking?’ ”

Time to start a petition, methinks. Maybe it is time to start criminalizing buying sex, so that it is the johns who are sanctioned against, not the prostitutes themselves.
I don’t want my daughters to grow up in a society where it is okay to sell your body.
This is a sad day for men and women. There are all kinds of sexual pressures, porn, propaganda, and we can rest assured that a lot more men will succumb now to these than before. I don’t disagree, Melissa, criminalizing the buyer is a good idea, but I just want to be clear on how this harms each and every last one of us.
A materialistic worldview determines materialistic concepts. If all that is is matter then we are all commodities to be used, bought and sold.
I appreciate the earlier comments. I too do not want my friends and relations to be told to sell yourself. I too see that all are hurt by a society that accepts and promotes selling yourself. This ‘materialism’ is a different world from one that has love as its warp and woof.
And I thought I just might click on PWPL to simply wish you all ‘Merry Christmas’. I’m still up for that. Merry Christmas from one who sees the real world is from beginning to end and more, ‘Personal’, and not ‘material’.
Merry Christmas.
