被禁止的性行為與性暴力

賣淫: 女性賣淫: 小結 2

由於世界大多數地區一直存在女性依附男性的現象,婦女運動長期以來一直強烈要求改革,並且至少在西方許多國家已經取得了一定程度的進步。與此同時,越來越清晰的是,儘管這樣的改革得到了人們的擁護,但是改革仍不足以動搖顯然存在於女性賣淫中的性別不平衡的基礎。不過,一個真正的“性別革命(gender revolution)”在世界各地破繭而出,並且持續的改革因而是唯一現實的選擇。

我們已經看到,女性激進主義者並不一致同意做出特殊的改革:例如,瑞典荷蘭這兩個國家(相互)充滿矛盾的賣淫政策,其中存在既反對賣淫也贊成賣淫的女性主義者的支持。這些問題最終會怎樣得到解決,只有經歷過後才能見分曉。就互聯網賣淫的將來發展來看,可能也是這種情形。由於獨立自主的女性剝削弱勢一方的男性主顧,一些研究者在這裏會發現一個潛在的角色倒轉現象。另一些研究者至少會發現在這種關係格局中存在一種不同於以往的權力平衡。還有一些研究者會發現,這種轉變是膚淺的和無關緊要的。從性研究的角度看,這個問題依然沒有得到解決。尚未有人採取有效的措施和方法,對賣淫的類型進行過充分的研究[1]

Prohibited Sexual Behavior and Sexual Violence

Prostitution: Female Prostitution: Summary 2

In view of the continuing female dependency on males in most regions of the world, the women’s movement has long demanded reforms, and some progress has been made, at least in many Western countries. At the same time, it has become clear that such reforms, while welcome, are not sufficient to change the fundamental gender imbalance still evident in the practice of female prostitution. However, a true “gender revolution” is nowhere on the horizon, and continued reform is therefore the only realistic option.
We have seen that women activists do not always agree on specific reforms: The incompatible prostitution policies of
Sweden and the Netherlands, for example, find feminists on both sides of the issues. How these issues will eventually be decided only experience can show. The same may be said about the future development of internet prostitution. Some observers see here a potential role reversal with fully autonomous females exploiting the weakness of males. Others see at least a new equality of power in the arrangement. For still others, the change is superficial and insignificant. From the point of sex research, the issue remains unresolved. This type of prostitution has not yet been sufficiently studied for a valid assessment.
