A friend linked me to the New York Post this morning."Can you believe this?" she said.
No, honestly. I can't.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again:
What goes on behind closed doors between two consenting adults is nobody's business but theirs.
You'll notice, please, that the report did not define which "sex acts" she agreed to. I'm sorry, but how, exactly, do you define a sex act?
I'm patronizing a restaurant, and up saunters my waitress. She's got a killer body, legs all the way to the floor, and I become aroused. Are she and I committing a sex act?
What would have to happen in order for it to count as one? Would we have to have contact?
So I stand up, shake her hand, and introduce myself. Are we going to be arrested on the
spot because I'm aroused and we're touching?In order for it to count as prostitution (which is actually the illegal part of this story), money (or goods) has to exchange hands. So, if I tip her heavily because of those curves, we're both going to jail?
Were this the case, cell block 7 in the women's ward would look like a Hooter's reunion.
It's like the city of New York banning the "N-word". How can you ban the use of a word, and still tout the United States as a country with the right of freedom of expression? How could the bill not have been laughed off the floor?
It's a sad state of affairs when Americans don't stand together against the loss of their basic rights. Is the Dominatrix's behavior offensive to most Americans? Yeah, probably. That doesn't change the fact that by allowing her to be imprisoned for her activities, you open the door to your own bedroom for inspection.
Is the "N-word" offensive and derogatory, with or without the "R"?
Absolutely, but I'll support some one's right to use it with my dying breath. Why?
Because by protecting his right to say it, I'm also protecting my right to tell him just what I think about it, and that is something worth fighting for.
