Has Ms. Clark-Flory sampled sex with robots? Was robot sex more fulfilling than the sex with multiple partners she detailed earlier?

Maybe robot sex is the way to go for men and women. For women, consistent orgasms. For men, no more widespread false accusations of assault or domestic violence, no paternity fraud, etc.

Human Trafficking Evokes Outrage, Little Evidence

U.S. Estimates Thousands of Victims, But Efforts to Find Them Fall Short

Outrage was mounting at the 1999 hearing in the Rayburn House Office Building, where congressmen were learning about human trafficking.

A woman from Nepal testified that September that she had been drugged, abducted and forced to work at a brothel in Bombay. A Christian activist recounted tales of women overseas being beaten with electrical cords and raped. A State Department official said Congress must act -- 50,000 slaves were pouring into the United States every year, she said. Furious about the "tidal wave" of victims, Rep. Christopher H. Smith (R-N.J.) vowed to crack down on so-called modern-day slavery.

The next year, Congress passed a law, triggering a little-noticed worldwide war on human trafficking that began at the end of the Clinton administration and is now a top Bush administration priority. As part of the fight, President Bush has blanketed the nation with 42 Justice Department task forces and spent more than $150 million -- all to find and help the estimated hundreds of thousands of victims of forced prostitution or labor in the United States.

But the government couldn't find them. Not in this country.

The evidence and testimony presented to Congress pointed to a problem overseas. But in the seven years since the law was passed, human trafficking has not become a major domestic issue, according to the government's figures.

The administration has identified 1,362 victims of human trafficking brought into the United States since 2000, nowhere near the 50,000 a year the government had estimated. In addition, 148 federal cases have been brought nationwide, some by the Justice task forces, which are composed of prosecutors, agents from the FBI and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and local law enforcement officials in areas thought to be hubs of trafficking.

In the Washington region, there have been about 15 federal cases this decade.

Ronald Weitzer, a criminologist at George Washington University and an expert on sex trafficking, said that trafficking is a hidden crime whose victims often fear coming forward. He said that might account for some of the disparity in the numbers, but only a small amount.

"The discrepancy between the alleged number of victims per year and the number of cases they've been able to make is so huge that it's got to raise major questions," Weitzer said. "It suggests that this problem is being blown way out of proportion."...

Your sexism is showing. Let's hope you don't have any children to poison with your bigoted opinion of men.

We live in a country where adult females almost daily seem to be molesting young boys and girls, and receiving minimal sentences from our courts when caught.

Where women commit paternity fraud on a widespread basis, forcing innocent men to pay for children who are not fathered by them.

Stop with your sexism, stop with your bigotry. Female sexual crimes are widespread in America, and women like you, who refuse to look at the problem, are a large part of the problem.

Stop the feminist, solipsistic denial that prevents women from looking hard at their own problems, the same denial that causes them to demonize men.

Keep up with the rhetorical gymnastics - a common feminist effort. We've seen this linguistic subterfuge before...

"Claims are often made that large numbers of migrants are trafficked around the world for sex. Laura Maria Agustin has looked closely at the evidence for this and concludes that the figures are exaggerated. She says that the West's obsession with migrant sex workers is a moral panic produced by concerns about immigration in general."

I understand the intelligence of someone who believes everything he reads in just about any newspaper.

The Sun is there....

George is running low on toilet paper...

It is an equal opportunity problem.

"The results indicated that 8.9% of students (8.9% of males and 8.8% of females) reported PDV victimization during the 12 months preceding the survey and that students reporting PDV victimization were more likely to engage in four of the five risk behaviors (i.e., sexual intercourse, attempted suicide, episodic heavy drinking, and physical fighting)."

Good points. More and more, government and schools are acting in loco parentis, and that is misguided.

Perhaps this is both a cause and an effect of the growing loss of the American family.
