The Wingham Advance-Times, 1975-10-23, Page 18' V lAri Copenhagen a few 1.0.0401 ago a young woman was Wed Into court for allegedly *Wang in a public place. .She beet spoken a word. Hadn't +Ove, given the eye to anyone. But, according to the cop who t+tdvd her into the paddy wagon, she as inviting customers and - advertising her wares by the pro- vocative way she walked. And on that testimony alone. the judge tined her $150, because while prostitution is legal in Denmark, ,eliciting is not. No advertising, lest the oldest profession" would be thereby cheapened. Which, indidentally, is a view als`ia shard by the medical pro- fession, Now this bit of news is very dis- illusioning to those of us who have Italy regarded Denmark as being the most sexually liberated coun- try in the world. It was after all, the Danish government which MIS the first to take the word -pornography" out of its law books simply because neither its legislators nor its lawyers could cone to any agreement as to what the word really meant. And ever since the Danish parliament decided ft was time to stop p - ing through bedroom keyholes, Denis *rk has been a sort of model far lam. a ou ` `i coun- tr% to wet+ h arid follow at a saw distances It Wasn't Hugh Hefner and ," Who ushered in the skin pictures s and the swingers' clubs on our side of the water. It really began with the Danes. How come then that a Danish judge mull be so narrow minded as to • fine a Homan for nothing more than the swing of her backside If our ambassador is on the job over there, he ought to demand an ex- planation. Come to think. of it, seriously, isn't a woman .advertising her charms any time she dresses at- tractively or pats on jewels or cosmetics? What part of a wo- man's finery isn't for the purpose of attracting a man — or several of tuna And .isn't it all a de - . tion of sow? What wasthat little rlttiyrrio we Once used to inseribeautograplOooks 1 t tAttle tick `• Little di&t et paint Make the farmer's daughter Lek like wit she ain't Any way you Look at it, when a woman puts on her make-up, she is only turning back her speed- ometer. No wonder the Puritans called the whole cosmetic busi- ness a thing of the devil. It was not only dishonesty but obvious- ly designed to arouse a man's carnal desires, and in the New England of the 1690's any woman who used paint and perfume to lure a man into sin could be put in the stocks on the village green. Getting back to the sad case of that Copenhagen coquette whose swaying hips.were so provocative they provoked a $150 fine, I do hope that the case is appealed and that she gets a good lawyer. After all, appearances can be de- ceiving in a man as well as a wo- man, I once heard of a Presby- terian minister — a man so godly he probably would have offered cup a prayerful 'Amen' to the sen- tence handed down by that Dan- ish judge I've been talking about -- who was accused by a Baptist spinster whom he had never met before of trying to proposition her, The truth was that whenever he got sufficiently excited, the whole right side of this poor fel- low's face would give a sudden and most peculiar twitch. But when someone who knew the minister finally convinced the old girl that his wink wasn't a proposition at all, it seems that she was more indignant than ever.
