Who cares about Russian girls? Do I read MSN and Slate for their Maxim rejected articles?

Anne, you failed to mention all those Russian and Polish girls enslaved in the pornography industry that's running rampant right now - I guess that's not as an alluring subject to write about.

Yes, it might usher in the next cancer curing doctor, but given their history it'll probably only usher in another generation of male dominant culture as exemplified by this article and how it looks at women as objects to be gawked at.

She also fails to mention that Russia and the former soviet republics act as the main feeders for sex trafficking rings - especially in the Middle East. Go to any shopping mall in Dubai and you see these women with their johns. And once in a month one of them is found floating in the Creek, having been raped and murdered after orgies on yachts. It's vile and disgusting that these countries are selling their daughters to service the immoral rich of this world instead of educating them and letting them control their own destiny.

I agree with the sentiment but I wish the subject line was more explicit. The original article really felt useless. The market for sex coming out of E. Europe is really disturbing. I am in Japan right now and I see lots of blue eyed blondes be led like dogs on a leash by old skeevy guys. (btw, their color certainly does not make it worse that these particular women are being used a sex objects; it just is easy to see here.)
