I was pleased to read your article " One time loophole in R.I.
prostitution law linked to decline in rape , diseases . Poll " ( July
14 online Providence Journal ) . Just yesterday I read a speech by the
famous woman anarchist, Emma Goldman, on the subject, which she
analyzed from the point of view of a radical rational revolutionary.
Prostitution is inseparable from class and gender oppression. But only
sanctimonious hypocrites will wage war on this symptom of social decay.
And it makes perfect sense that it deters rape . Did not the great
psychiatrist Sigmund Freud write about the consequences of extreme
sexual misery ? So did one Wilhelm Reich.
What is needed here is a little discreet compassion. The
Catholic Church is moving away from dogmatic drivel in the matter of
human sexuality. To be sure, gay sex is no more " dirty " than
male-female mating acts. Under modern capitalism the human soul is FOR
SALE. Now that is obscene indeed . And should not be decriminalized !
