“Imagine being pregnant with no medicine, no food, no water and no electricity. Over 50,000 pregnant women are without access to medical care in Gaza. Over 4,000 children have been killed since the start of this siege. We need a ceasefire now.”
A Conservative MP has apologized after he asked an NDP MP whether she's considered sex work as part of a debate in the House of Commons about the Parole Board of Canada.
I hate this article so much.
I’m a reluctant NDP supporter (the only party with decent economic policies) but shit like this really makes me want to cancel my vote in the next election. I’ll never ever ever vote for Conservatives but the NDP is making me defend this dumbass tory MP, I can’t believe it. Context - A young woman who was working at an erotic massage salon and saw clients on the side for sex agreed to meet with a man who had been banned from the salon for being violent to other employees, and was on parole after serving time in jail for murdering his wife. He was allowed by the parole board to see prostitutes to satisfy his sexual urges, even though it was agreed he was not able to form healthy relationships with women. (YES, you read that right!!! The correctional system allowed this man to see prostitutes, even though it’s illegal in Canada AND they knew the man was a woman killer). Anyway, the Conservatives put forward a motion asking to review how parole board decisions are made after this tragic case. The NDP MP Laurel Collins asked why the Conservatives weren’t listening to sex workers who say sex work is work, and the Conservative MP asked her if she would consider that line of work herself, not in a “hey baby, you ever thought of becoming a hoe ;)” kind of way, as the title of the article make it seems, but rather raising the very valid point that if it’s such normal work, would she ever consider it herself. Probably not the best question to ask, admittedly, but still a fair point. He was heckled by other NDP MPs and eventually apologized. Now the NDP are just proving his point by going on and on about how he was denigrating sex workers and being insulting and whatnot. Well, libfems, if sex work was just normal work, what about that question would be insulting?
