No, I don’t think Western women are exempt at all, but they do a hell of a lot better than women in places like Iran, India, Pakistan, and the men from those countries who go to Western ones often show exactly why that is the case with their attitudes.
Another who was trafficked to her stepfather before school age was murdered by a client. Several more traffic try to traffic themselves then end up pimped, for “protection.”
here’s very few places on the face of the earth where you can find stuff like that because it’s the number one thing that will get the cops to come down like a ton of bricks on you. And rightfully so! I have never heard of this case.
All this in a small village of less than 500 with no less than 20 churches, mothers and/or traffickers all in attendance, the men pimps and johns pastors, deacons, elders. Many end up married to their avoiders, for a veneer of respectability the abusers had from being born the correct gender…
This does not describe anything I have ever seen in the US on any scale.
Every case that involves something like this usually involves a literal cult… But yes, if that is what you are referring to, then, sure, those crazy LSD-breakaway churches are absolute nuts. I agree. But this does not happen at scale anywhere in the US.

It does happen. We just don't talk about it because of reactions like this. This isn't just LDS ot JW, or Catholics. It's also Baptist, Pentecostal, Holiness, Methodist, Lutheran, SDA, Episcopalian, Evangelical, Apostolic, non-denominational. We don't talk about other abuses either, because of reactions like this. And just FYI, the cops are clients and abusers, too. In my hometown, the ATF cop used to ply young girls with seized contraband to make them more compliant.
This isn't just rich people, like in the Epstein files. It's poor people who can't buy groceries, pay the light bill, the mechanic, the rent. Or women who want antiques or men who want a promotion.
