Hostility towards Oxfam

vendredi 23 février 2018 à 01:00

Oxfam faces an inexplicable climate of hostility, in which everything it says is taken as a sign of wrongdoing.

You can see this bias when people label this uproar with the terms "sex exploitation" and "sexual abuse". At that point enters the premise that doing business with a sex worker is a wrong that deserves condemnation. Then the attack typically condemns the organization because someone on its staff did this "wrong".

If an Oxfam staffer hires a country music band, a genre which I dislike rather strongly, should I say Oxfam has a music exploitation scandal?
