Definitely there will be someone out there who would argue
that it is women’s responsible for their entry into prostitution. It’s their
body, either they take control of it or get loose, however I agree with Sanger
that it highly unlikely that women ever are responsible, but there are more
that pushes women into that path. One of most visible reason is economic
issues. Money is scary; lack of financial support could really turn an angel to
devil in just a snap of finger. I have seen a lot of news regarding prostitution
in Asia countries, mostly in India and Thailand; parents would sell their
children into prostitution for money and many devoted daughters would sell themselves
in order to help their money and take care of their parent.
When people meet
the barrier between life and survival; pride, self, or reputation don’t mean
anything. In the document Prostitution in New York City, 1858, Sanger also
mentioned a similar story a woman who got no money but rents, bills and many
more to pay. Under these circumstances, there is no POSITIVE way for her to
turn but sold her body. 
There will be no prostitution if no one BUYS it. I don’t
want to put the blame on men; however that is how I feel. There always is a
cause and effect; if there is no demand, there will no supply. Sanger also
stated “man is the aggressive animal, so far as sexual desire is involved” (pg.
221), it is injustice to put all the blame on women. Excluding those women who
enjoy doing prostitution, women are the victim due to lack of financial prospects
or other reasons. No one wants to live and work as prostitute, they all wish to
have stable life with their love ones, but then again life is unpredictable and
biased and could really force someone into dangerous track; hence it will be rational
to look at them and understand them with kindly heart.
