I do think forced prostitution is of a different character than forced manual labour.
Sure. If I were forced to pick one, I'd rather do the manual labor.
And I don't think distinguishing between the two makes one seem like a walk in the park in comparison.
No, you're right. I have as much of a problem calling forced prostitution "sexual slavery" because it is forced. Rape is violent assault focused on and/or committed via sexual organs, but it feels important to me to keep rape and sex as separate as possible.
The race thing, obviously, gets right the fuck up my nose.
Yeah, it sure does. It isn't a term I've had much contact with, and I guess I'd just never thought about it. I've probably read it more here at b.org, in a couple of years than I have read/heard it in the rest of my life before that. All the evil inherent in the term just slapped me across the face.

I don't see the problem -- isn't forced inherent in slavery?

...for those who don't have access to mules.
I just don't see what

Ronald Reagan, the president who brought you Ketchup as a vegetable.
I will never understand why Republicans revere him so. Like, I agree that the Iron Curtain was bad, hurray for the end of the Iron Curtain, but hello? Events in your
own
country??
I'm so filled with glee. Andrew Sullivan posted an email I sent him this morning.
My first dip in the political blog pool is about pubic hair. Hilarious.
