Well it seems that the more you sit back and do nothing, you will get payouts! So if you did the right thing and kept all your dockets, ah-well, those people, who received dockets just the same, but couldn’t be stuffed keeping them, need the money too. I know, that i have kept everything, except when forgotten,because we do need that money back and it makes me angry that some families do the right thing and it does not matter. They give money out far too easy. If they cant keep dockets and claim it, they dont need it. Spend the money on our roads or education!

I never said male politicians aren’t allowed views on issues affecting young women! I said that young women do not need him to comment on their sex lives. It is a personal decision and not political at all. Or do you appreciate Tony Abbott’s opinion on your sexual choices? Feel he is representing young women by discussing when they first have sex?
” Are 50 something males now banned from offering their daughters advise are they?”
Obviously not but it is not appropriate publicly. I am sure his daughters did not appreciate him discussing their virginity in front of the nation.

I don’t have any outrage. I never said I was against a woman selling her virginity if that is what she wants to do. I am just expressing that I don’t think its the same as an awkward first time experience with a boyfriend. If men want their first time to be with an escort then that is their choice too.

I don’t know what you’re talking about Nicki. I just think selling your virginity as an escort is a very different experience to having a underwhelming first time with a boyfriend of similar age and who you are attracted to and know.

Let’s not forget, all women are someone’s daughter – AND – all men are someone’s son, too.

Where is your outrage about men wanting to buy a “virgin”?

What does it say to you that there’s a market for buying a “virgin”?

What if the “buyer” is a “virgin”?

“With all due respect i would argue that the vast majority of young women will ‘lose it’ to someone they barely know.”
I completely disagree with this statement. Of course this is true for some women but absolutely not the vast majority! I do not know any women who see losing their virginity the way your friends do! I actually think it is really sad and disturbing that women want to just ‘get it over with’ and with basically a stranger. Of course it is not a wonderful, perfect moment for many people but I find most women I’ve talked to about it usually regretted it if it wasn’t with someone they loved/cared about and wished they had waited so it was a more positive experience.

Well, it’s all subjective, isn’t it elle?

It’s interesting that you didn’t mention how the other party, “He”, feels about the situation, though.

Your comment sounds like passive slut-shaming, actually.

Tough day at the office, Rick.

Geez……..let’s just have an argument about who is a feminist, instead of discussing the REAL story……..

I’m glad those Welsh fools feel like their lifestyle was ‘ruined’ – we don’t want people like that on the Gold Coast or anywhere in Australia (and yes, it was the dumping of the poor little guy into shark infested canals that pissed me off the most. In future they should think. Thinking is underrated, apparently!)
And the fine should have better reflected the cost of their actions!

I don’t think prostitution and having sex with someone on a whim are the same thing.
