Question

Identify each of the following statements by the theoretical paradigm that best matches the perspective of the statement. Choose SF for structural functional paradigm, SC for the social conflict paradigm, and F for the feminist paradigm.

 

-
Sex workers, especially street workers and those who are young or migrant, face serious danger. As long as sex workers are marginalized and criminalized, formal agencies of protection will fail to provide adequate security for sex workers.

-
Street prostitutes are marginalized and victimized. They typically suffer from STIs, drug addiction, and malnutrition, and they are vulnerable to violence. Street prostitutes come into the trade from already marginalized groups like racial minorities. In sum, street prostitutes suffer the outcome of their extreme disadvantage and powerlessness.

-
Prostitutes' efforts to create support groups and advocacy in the form of unions have been squashed by powerful prohibitionist lobbies.

-
Prohibitionists have the power of traditional laws that criminalize sex workers. Without organization, sex workers have been unable to change any of the prevailing conservative attitudes.

-
Robert Picton's crimes against prostitutes of Vancouver sickened the public, but media coverage of his arrest and trial has directed badly needed focus on the plight of marginalized sex workers. It may be this media attention that will swing public support to the sex worker minority.

-
Some activists have voiced the position that prostitution objectifies women and forces them to be exploited for the pleasure of men, and for this reason, prostitution can never be a free choice, and therefore can never be an accepted occupation.

-
Some more liberal theorists and activists counter the radical view that condemns prostitution. Their stance is based on the ideal of freedom to choose, and the argument that with unprejudiced social support, prostitution can be a chosen and valid profession.

-
The stigma attached to street prostitutes is evident in the language that the public, media and authority figures use to describe prostitutes and the sex trade: blight on the streets, trash, and appeals to rid the public streets with a cleanup of the sex trade.
