[quote=harvey][quote=davelj]You use the word “definitely” and I’m not sure where your proof lies. This might be the case. And it might not. Frankly, I would like to think that it is. I just haven’t seen much evidence of it.[/quote]
You’re say you’re not sure there is evidence of correlation between parenting and a woman’s choices in relationships…
…on a thread about prostitution?
Let’s take a trip to the Bunny Ranch and chat with some of the gals. If you can find one girl who had a father even half as committed as flu, I’ll buy you an hour with her.[/quote]
I’m not sure that prostitution is more about socioeconomic background than anything else. (Although one could argue that not having a father around can lead to a bad socioeconomic situation… and then we’d be getting into issues of correlation versus causation.)
Allow me to make a crass comparison to raise a point.
Profile 1: Upper-middle class wife (whose parents remained married) who remains married to her husband (and the father of her children) – whom she doesn’t really like much anymore – only “to keep the family together” and maintain material comforts.
Profile 2: Woman from lower socioeconomic stratum (whose parents divorced) who has sex with men in exchange for the money she needs to live and take care of her kids.
What’s the difference, really? They’re both having sex with men they don’t love to maintain a standard of living for them and their kids. The first is legal; the second one’s not.
I’m just sayin’…
(I’ll pass on the Bunny Ranch but I appreciate the offer.)
