""I've been very surprised," Marielle Lindstrom, head of the IOM in Turkey, told the Independent. "We haven't noticed this anywhere in Europe. Turkish men seem to have an old-fashioned view of women. They don't mind using prostitutes, but they want the woman to be doing this willingly. If she's found not to be doing it willingly…it affects their pride.""
Maybe someone can point out the sarcasm, the deft tongue-in-cheek here?
Good luck.
And, btw, if the 2nd post was trying to demonstrate an ability to read nuance, it failed rather miserably by interpreting my comment as some sort of ranting criticism of the author (who, you will notice, was not the person who made the statement about old-fashioned men).
