==Mary Magdalene?==
==Mary Magdalene?==
I've been taught my whole life that it is disrespectful to Mary Magdalene to think that she is the woman mentioned in this event. As far as I know, the Bible doesn't mention her here at all; have things been proven otherwise? I looked through the history of the article and saw that there was some debate about this earlier, but didn't see anything here on the talk page. I've added a fact template so that a proper citation can be added. [[User:Jinkas|Jinkas]] 16:01, 1 August 2007 (EDT)

==Blaming the victim==
This article reflects a viewpoint that prostitutes (women and girls) are voluntary "sex workers", a view common in UN-type publications. It's not true:
:Some people do not want an equal, sharing relationship. They do not want to be nice. They do not want to ask. They like the power involved in buying a human being who can be made to do almost anything.
Sweden criminalized the purchase of sex, putting the blame on the "johns" rather than the women. That reduced prostitution 95%. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 23:54, 18 January 2010 (EST)
