Everything is Discrimination

When I read liberals/feminists complaining about "appearance discrimination" and supporting laws banning its practice in employment, I really should not have been surprised.  Anything liberals dislike is discriminatory in some way.

This article from Feministing is an excellent example.  Under US law, foreign organizations that the federal government provides anti-AIDS funding must oppose prostitution and sex-work.  Now, feminists and sex worker advocates are complaining that this is discriminatory against prostitutes.
On Tuesday, July 20th, NSWP organized sex workers and allies to disrupt a speech by United States Global AIDS Coordinator Dr. Eric Goosby to demand justice for sex workers harmed by PEPFAR’s discriminatory anti-prostitution loyalty oath.

To be fair, it's not just liberals who are at fault for their incessant use of "discrimination."  Conservatives who care more about ending racism and sexism than limiting government are the prime reason that liberals get away with this.

    Well, there would have been one simple way to disrupt that mid-speech protest: Get a gang of 15 of your buddies (each armed with a $20 bill) to approach the protesters and propose back-alley propositions.

    I bet that protest ends lickity split.

  2. As much as I hate to give feminists credit for anything, it is the highpoint of hypocrisy for the US government to claim it is fighting for "liberty" while at the same time cracking the whip on sex workers.
