Blame the Whore

I was alerted to this CNN article in the commentary on the Feministe interview I recommended in my last post. As it's apparently an accepted fact that the modern American parent is a total moron, CNN provides a helpful article on how to discuss the Spitzer scandal and, more specifically, prostitution with your children.

"Parents should be ready if children ask what a prostitute is, said Judy Kuriansky, a professor of clinical psychology at Columbia University Teachers College.

"If they ask," she said, "You say, 'Sadly there are some women who feel that when they have an intimate experience with someone they need to get paid for it. This is something that is not healthy and I don't accept it or condone it."'"

That's what we should teach our children - that prostitution was created by greedy, immoral women preying on men who otherwise would never offer money for sex. This brings slut-bashing to a whole new low.
