Reply #4: Sounds like GENDER DISCRIMINATION to me!!!!!

From the cited source: Under Germany's welfare reforms, any woman under 55 who has been out of work for more than a year can be forced to take an available job – including in the sex industry – or lose her unemployment benefit. Last month German unemployment rose for the 11th consecutive month to 4.5 million, taking the number out of work to its highest since reunification in 1990.

The government had considered making brothels an exception on moral grounds, but decided that it would be too difficult to distinguish them from bars. As a result, job centres must treat employers looking for a prostitute in the same way as those looking for a dental nurse.



That is absolute horseshit--outrageous, unseemly, and beyond the goddamn pale. Unless they are forcing MEN to take these jobs as well, I'd say there's simply got to be some sort of Equal Rights law that can be invoked. This warrants further checking, I simply cannot believe that Germany would insist that women be required to fuck for their supper. It just does not compute!
