I had the opportunity to talk to one of the Amnesty Int. Australia officeholders who was here for the AGM.

She waved off the controversy on prostitution as comparable to an earlier AI debate on capital punishment.

The difference is, of course, that both sides of the capital punishment debate could arguably be made to work with the core purposes of AI – it was just a matter of scope.

But on this issue… if I wanted to advance the cause of advancing freedoms and combatting wrongful imprisonment, why on earth would I lend my support to a group that would be happy to see prostituted women legally bound to oppressing men?

It is an utterly discordant and indicative of a tendency in the West for the baby-boomer virtuous organisations to be taken over by cynicism in their old age.
