“Sin City is a nickname that may be applied to an urban area (a city or part of) that caters to various vices. These vices may be legal (depending on area) or illegal activities which are tolerated.

Examples of such vices include sex-related services (prostitution, strip clubs, sex shops, etc.), gambling (casinos, betting shops, etc.), or drug use (alcohol, marijuana, etc. consumption), and even excessive organized crime and gang activity. If the city is known for prostitution, it is often called a red-light district, as in Amsterdam, Netherlands.” -Wikipedia

“RAPE MYTHS

Myth #1

“Rape/sexual violence is something only done by a stranger in a dark alley.”

Busted! We know that almost all (92%) of survivors know or can identify the perpetrator(s) (Kingi & Jordan, 2009).

Myth #2

“Rape/sexual violence is a one-off traumatic event.”

Busted! Kingi & Jordan (2009) found in their study that only 11 out of 75 survivors had experienced a single incident of sexual violence as an adult, whereas 85% of survivors reported being sexually assaulted more than once.

Myth #3

“Survivors will always report sexual violence to the police.”

Busted! Reporting of sexual violence in Aotearoa New Zealand is very low, with only an estimated 9% of incidents ever reported to police (Ministry of Women’s Affairs, 2009).

There are many understandable reasons why survivors don’t report and it is totally up to them if they want to or not. Reasons may include:

Fear of not being believed, fear of the effect it on their family, feelings of shame fear of the offender, blaming themselves, the nature of the relationship with the offender, fear or not trusting the legal system, don’t think or know that sexual violence is a crime.

Myth #4

“False complaints are common.”

Busted! The majority of sexual violence claims are true. Research has shown that approximately only 8% of rape allegations are false (Ministry of Women’s Affairs, 2009). If we believe someone when they confide in us, they are much more likely to get the help they need. This is why it is incredibly important to believe someone if they tell you they have been sexually assaulted.

Myth #5

“Being intoxicated, flirting, wearing a short skirt or dress, and/or walking alone at night is an invitation to be sexually assaulted.”

Busted! Nothing is an invitation to be sexually assaulted. People have the right to drink alcohol, be flirty, wear whatever they want, walk alone at night—and still be safe. It is ALWAYS the fault of the person doing the harmful sexual behaviour and NEVER the survivor’s.

Myth #6

“Sexual violence only happens to women.”

Busted: Although most sexual violence happens to women (one in five by the age of 16), one in ten males will also be sexually assaulted by their 16th birthday (Clark, 2015) and one in two transgender individuals will be sexually assaulted at some point in their lives (Forge, 2005).

VICTIM BLAMING

Part of rape culture is victim blaming - victim blaming is when the actions or movements of the victim/survivor are blamed for the sexual assault instead of the perpetrator.” -https://rpe.co.nz/what-is-rape-culture/. “There are currently no laws regulating or prohibiting sex surrogacy therapy. While paying for sex is illegal in most of the United States, this type of therapy does not always involve the exchange of money for sexual services, so it may fall into a legal gray area.

Sexual gratification is not necessarily the sole aim of the treatment. The treatment is also a therapeutic tool to help people overcome sexual challenges and improve their sexual health. Although the rationale for using a surrogate partner may be for sexual engagement, sexual contact is not mandatory and occurs only if necessary for the client to reach their goals.

Like any decision in a traditional therapeutic relationship between a client and a therapist, the decision to engage in intercourse as part of treatment is the choice of both parties and requires informed consent.

Since its establishment in 1973, IPSA has not experienced any legal issues.” In 1997, Kamala Harris, Vice President of the United States, former United States Senator, and former California Attorney General, stated:

“If it's between consensual adults and referred by licensed therapists and doesn't involve minors, then it's not illegal.” (1). “I follow Jesus Christ of economic egalitarianism, legal egalitarianism, moral egalitarianism, political egalitarianism, racial egalitarianism, & gender egalitarianism that I believe in. I’m not Communist & I’m not a Marxist.” -Antonio Myers

“The Autism Society, the nation’s leading advocacy organization for individuals with autism and their families, affirms that all individuals with autism have the same equal and inalienable rights as all human beings, regardless of age, gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, culture, language, geography, religion, economic status, the severity of disability or intensity of needs. Historically, individuals with autism have faced discrimination and barriers that have denied them their full human and civil rights. As a result of this denial, individuals with autism have been faced with marginalization and poverty at disproportionate rates in comparison to others. International, federal, state, and local government has an obligation to protect the human rights of all citizens, including individuals with autism. Legislation, policies, and laws must reflect basic human rights, including the right to health care, education, independent living and participation in the community, access to justice, an adequate standard of living, and freedom from torture or cruel, inhumane, or degrading treatment or punishment.” “The Autism Society believes in the full entitlement of human rights for people with autism, including the following:

• Individuals with autism shall be treated with dignity and respect for their individual autonomy in making their own choices and decisions as it relates to their basic needs.

• Individuals with autism shall have the full benefit of legislation, policies, and laws that protect their right to live without discrimination and vigorously promote full social, economic, and cultural inclusion.

• Individuals with autism, and their representative organizations, shall be actively involved and in consultation with the development and implementation of legislation and policies, and in other decision-making processes concerning issues relating to persons with autism.

• All individuals with autism are recognized as equal before and under the law and are entitled without any discrimination to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law, including equal access to effective legal protection.

• Children with autism shall enjoy the full array of human rights and freedoms on an equal basis with other children, with the best interest of the child being the primary consideration and with the right to express their views freely on all matters affecting them. Their views must be given due weight in accordance with their age and maturity, on an equal basis with other children, and they must be provided with disability- and age-appropriate assistance to realize that right.

• Individuals with autism should be afforded the right to choose where they live, including the right to live independently and participate fully in all aspects of life. Appropriate measures will ensure access, on an equal basis with others, to the physical environment, to transportation, to information and communication, including information and communication technologies and systems, and to other facilities and services open or provided to the public, both in urban and in rural areas. Persons with autism shall have the opportunity to choose with whom they live on an equal basis with others and are not obliged to live in a particular living arrangement.

• Every individual with autism has the inherent right to life.

• No individual with autism shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment.

• Individuals with autism shall be protected, both within and outside the home, from all forms of exploitation, violence, and abuse, including with respect to gender identity.

• Individuals with autism should have access to a range of in-home, residential, and other community support services, including personal assistance necessary to support living and inclusion in the community and to prevent isolation or segregation from the community.”https://autismsociety.org/national-position-statement-human-rights/

“Religious persecution is the systematic mistreatment of an individual or a group of individuals as a response to their religious beliefs or affiliations or their lack thereof. The tendency of societies or groups within societies to alienate or repress different subcultures is a recurrent theme in human history. Moreover, because a person's religion frequently determines their sense of morality, worldview, self-image, attitudes towards others, and overall personal identity to a significant extent, religious differences can be significant cultural, personal, and social factors.

Religious persecution may be triggered by religious or antireligious bigotry (when members of a dominant group denigrate religions other than their own or religion itself where the irreligious are the dominant group) or it may be triggered by the state when it views a particular religious group as a threat to its interests or security. At a societal level, the dehumanization of a particular religious group may readily lead to acts of violence or other forms of persecution. Religious persecution may be the result of societal and/or governmental regulation. Governmental regulation refers to the laws which the government imposes in order to regulate a religion, and societal regulation is discrimination against citizens because they adhere to one or more religions.[1] In many countries, religious persecution has resulted in so much violence that it is considered a human rights problem.” Wikipedia Child me believes in guardian angels, archangels, angels, and the Christian definition of supernaturalism. Child me also believes that Jesus is number one in all areas of my life and life in general and child me is fixated on church fellowship, Kingdom Discipleship, and Bible abiding. Jesus is into Egalitarianism (the doctrine that all people are equal and deserve equal rights and opportunities.) Jesus is also into social equality, equality of outcome, equal opportunity, and social equity.

“(Vulnerability and Description):

Naïveté or immaturity: People who find it too hard to accept the idea that some people are cunning, devious and ruthless or are "in denial" if they are being taken advantage of. They will acknowledge the fact of being manipulated only if it occurs too often.[16]

Over-conscientiousness: People who are much harder on themselves than on others often are too willing to give another the benefit of the doubt and see their side of things while blaming themselves for hurting the manipulator.[16]

Low self-esteem: People who struggle with self-doubting, lacking in confidence and assertiveness, or chronically unsure of their right to pursue their legitimate wants and needs. They are likely to go on the defensive too easily when challenged by an aggressive personality.[16]

Over-intellectualization: People who believe that others only do hurtful things when there's some legitimate, understandable reason for manipulation. They might delude themselves into believing that uncovering and understanding all the reasons for the manipulator's behavior will be sufficient to make things different.[16]

Emotional dependency: People who have a submissive or dependent personality. The more emotionally dependent a person is, the more vulnerable they are to being exploited and manipulated.[16]” - Wikipedia
