In the West in the last two months White Men who enjoy so much power,Film Producers,Cabinet Ministers,MPs,Academics,Top Journlists, Teachers and one Ex President are being accused by hundreds of women as sexual perverts and rapists.In this context innocent Brown Men using prostitutes is harmless and the brothels should be legalised.

Police should be arresting the drug traffickers, child molesters, thieves, corrupted politicians and officials before they arrest the hookers.
