I was horrified but mostly amazed when I watched TV last Sunday.”We want to show another side of prostitution” Louise Bratt says, editor-in-chief for Veckorevyn, in Nyhetsmorgon Söndag tv4 (25-11-07). In the latest number of Veckorevyn, there was an article about “The happy whore”. Which side of prostitution does Veckorevyn want to show, I wonder? It doesn’t been notified of when Louise is being interviewed. But with consideration that they have put a glamorous picture and done the whole article with a lot of glam, you can work on the supposition that they want to show the “glamour” that comes with the job (?). How can a teenage-girl-magazine publish an article that means that prostitution is something great, glamoros and a job among all other? As long as you have the power and can decide for your own.
I don’t believe that “the happy whore” exists. I do not even think that it exist a concept for this meaning. It cannot be any single people that become happy of lasting prostitute? I mean, come on, should it sound the same if it was male prostitute they were talking about? Forget it; men wouldn’t be happy by selling their bodies for money. Why, why, why should women be that then?
“I am not quite content with this article” Louise also says - Always something.
Prostitution will never be a woman benefit. Therefore isn’t such an article suitable in a magazine that claims that they are on the female side.
I do not read Veckorevyn longer but I am sincere amazed over what it cover. What will happen next?
