Greece isn't a poor country, but apparently the local women are still mistreated by British tourists.<br /><br />"It is not the fault of Eastern European countries, rather it is the now normalised and widely accepted belief that men have a right to buy women and then commit sexual torture on and in their bodies."<br /><br />I'm not blaming those countries at all. I'm saying that countries that accept stag parties or worse, sex tourism, do so primarily out of poverty. It is a worldwide problem - as a single male traveler in Asia and Latin America, many locals assumed I was a sex tourist and I was often offered prostitutes.<br /><br />"Male demand drives the sexual slavery of women but some cities are finally saying 'enough is enough we no longer wish to have drunken hoards of arrogant men invade our cities and commit sexual assaults against women.'"<br /><br />I'm glad cities are drawing the line, but as a practical matter, if Prague or Riga cracks down on it, the stag parties will just move to even poorer cities.Icemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13238036172563138410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8248707.post-71546994937337536432009-08-09T22:19:09.800+01:002009-08-09T22:19:09.800+01:00But if men as a group, particularly white western ...But if men as a group, particularly white western men who have more economic power than Eastern European women did not believe or demand innumerable East European women and girls must be made sexually available to them then we would not have innumerable numbers of misogynistic, violent men travelling to these countries. <br /><br />It is not the fault of Eastern European countries, rather it is the now normalised and widely accepted belief that men have a right to buy women and then commit sexual torture on and in their bodies. Male demand drives the sexual slavery of women but some cities are finally saying 'enough is enough we no longer wish to have drunken hoards of arrogant men invade our cities and commit sexual assaults against women.' <br /><br />The man who discovered his alleged sexual harassment of a Greek woman resulted in his being burned on his penis and genital area, experienced a shock. Namely this very courageous Greek woman refused to passively submit whilst this 'nice, wouldn't harm a fly' British male thought he could allegedly sexually assault any woman because she was supposedly a sexualised commodity.<br /><br />Bravo to the woman for challenging pseudo male entitlement and refusing to passively submit to male sexual assault, because despite claims to the contrary such male sexual harassment and sexual assault of women is an everyday occurence and it is happening on a global scale.JENNIFER DREWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02112807166372869685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8248707.post-78261719985812800302009-08-09T18:23:49.361+01:002009-08-09T18:23:49.361+01:00"2) Stag parties and the sort of stuff that i..."2) Stag parties and the sort of stuff that is being described in the Greek case are really a sort of watered-down (in some cases not much watered-down) sexual tourism."<br /><br />A quick Internet search turned up a site for stag parties in Warsaw that offers the activities "Babes in Oil", "Solidarity Strip Meal", and "Steak & Tits". Even a river cruise offered the options for "topless hostess, strip show, lesbian show, or 'body dessert'."<br /><br />Countries like Spain and Ireland won't put up with that anymore and don't have to, but Eastern European countries are in a difficult situation. They really need all of the tourist dollars they can get, so they accept drunken mobs and loads of strip clubs in their city centers.Icemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13238036172563138410noreply@blogger.com
