He was joking, Lucy.

Besides, the estimates can be seriously questioned. In the UK a law is being proposed that will make men guilty of a criminal offence if they use a prostitute who has been made a "sex-slave", even if the girl lies and says she is not one. This is because it is said that 80% of the girls involved are forced into prostitution. However, the BBC pointed out that those figures related simply to prostitutes who came from abroad, and were not indicative of how many were really sex slaves.

There is no equivalent law,envisaged, for example, for men forced to become rent-boys, or for women who use male "escorts".

I don't want to diminish your justified outrage, but are you sure your numbers are right? Or is it just another case of women protesting that they are men's victims?
