I'm furious because someone I slept with, someone I was intimate with, someone I shared a bed with and a small portion of my life is happy with the idea that a man can kill prostitutes and

It upsets me too when people say things like that, and enrages me. Unfortunately I'm coming to realise that more people think this way than I would have liked to have believed.

Could you maybe point this girl in the way of some literature? I donate to a group called Project Respect who have a very good website and information about the sex industry (albeit the Melbourne sex industry, but still, most of the info would be universal) and the people who work in it, either by choice or by circumstance

Unfortunately literature does not always impact people. The very fact that she can distance herself from the idea of these people's sufferings (openly told me she hates violence but doesn't mind these violent acts being done) means she would distance herself from any statistics or words on a page. Would be nice if it worked, but I very much doubt it. After our debate I doubt she'd read any website I would send her, but I'll send it along anyway.

This isn't about not knowing, or being mis-informed. This is about her channel of thought being set on one pattern- what they do is wrong and they should be punished. Unless you can break that channel you can't break the thought. I know, i've tried with my dad and countless others. Some can be reasoned with, but they have to be willing. I'm trying to think of ways to break people's set thought patterns. if you or anyone else happens to have some suggestions i'd greatly appreciate it.
