美杂志公然向未成年人推广性工作 遭舆论抨击

原标题:舆论抨击《Teen Vogue》杂志公然向未成年人推广性工作

美国青少年时尚杂志《Teen Vogue》的文章,竟然将性工作作为"真正的工作"向年轻读者推广。

今年4月,这本面向12至18岁青年人的时尚杂志,首次刊登了一篇题为《为什么性工作是真正的工作》(Why Sex Work Is Real Work)的文章,当时并没有引起太多关注。不过,当该杂志决定本周在推特上再次推广这篇文章后,引起了新的关注和批评。

In the piece, Dr Tlaleng Mofokeng argues for the decriminalization of sex work across the world, citing global efforts to ensure better labor rights for the women involved。 The continued criminalization of sex work is "a form of violence by governments and contributes to the high level of stigma and discrimination" around prostitution, she argues。

在这篇文章中,(作者)Tlaleng Mofokeng主张,在全世界范围内将性工作去犯罪化,并引用了全球范围内为性工作者提供更好的劳动权利所做的努力。她认为,继续将性工作定义为犯罪是"政府的一种暴力形式,推高了对卖淫的羞辱和歧视层次"。

Yet, large chunks of Mofokeng's article come across more as an advertisement for sex work as a potential career path than a simple argument for decriminalization - with little said about the dire circumstances which often lead young girls into that world。

然而,Mofokeng文章的大部分内容,更多的是为性工作作为一个潜在职业道路作广告,而不是简单的性工作去犯罪化的论点论据--通篇几乎没有提及年轻女孩一旦进入卖淫行业将面临的的可怕境遇。

Mofokeng tells teen readers that people often "misunderstand" what sex work actually is, writing that "sex-worker services" can include "companionship, intimacy, nonsexual role playing, dancing, escorting and stripping。" She also suggests that relationships that started off as sexual could "evolve" into "emotional and psychological bonding。"

Mofokeng告诉青少年读者,人们经常"误解"性工作到底是什么,她写道,"性工作者的服务"可以包括"陪伴、亲密、无性角色扮演、舞蹈、护送和脱衣舞"。她还提示,从性关系开始的关系可能会"演变"为"情感和心理上的结合"。

The idea of "purchasing intimacy" can be affirming for people in need of "human connection, friendship and emotional support," the article says, seeming to promote prostitution as a kind of caring profession serving people in need。

这篇文章说,"购买亲密关系"的概念对需要"人际关系、友谊和情感支持"的人来说是肯定的,俨然将卖淫作为一种服务于需要帮助的人的关怀职业而进行推广。

此外,Mofokeng甚至把她自己为性相关问题提供建议和治疗的医生工作比作性工作,她认为自己的工作没有被定罪,所以"性工作者"也不应该被定罪。

《Teen Vogue》周日为这篇文章在推特上发帖后,立即遭到强烈反对,许多人指责该杂志向弱势的未成年人宣传卖淫。

为什么青少年杂志会向13岁的读者推广卖淫?
