A recent online debate discussed whether men who patronize prostitutes should be seen as “weak.” One comment stirred further conversation by asserting, “It’s the prostitute that is weak, not the person that paid her.” This controversial statement shifts blame solely onto the woman involved, overlooking the responsibility of both parties.
Labeling the prostitute as “weak” while absolving the client perpetuates a harmful double standard. This perspective dismisses the complex social and economic factors that can lead individuals into sex work and misses an opportunity to engage in a more balanced conversation. Constructive dialogue should aim to foster understanding and respect rather than reinforce one-sided judgments.
