Several House Democrats are calling on Congress to recognize that climate change is hurting women more than men, and could even drive poor women to "transactional sex" for survival.
The resolution, from Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) and a dozen other Democrats, says the results of climate change include drought and reduced agricultural output. It says these changes can be particularly harmful for women.
"[F]ood insecure women with limited socioeconomic resources may be vulnerable to situations such as sex work, transactional sex, and early marriage that put them at risk for HIV, STIs, unplanned pregnancy, and poor reproductive health," it says.
Climate change could also add "workload and stresses" on female farmers, which the resolution says produce 60 to 80 percent of the food in developing countries.

LOL @ “they might have children “
Oh the horrors! :-)
LOL, that was the gist of my following post! Glad it’s intuitively obvious. :-)
That was an old Olivia Newton John hit.. huh?
Let’s get transactional.. uhhh physical! wooooo
There’s no global warming, because women aren’t throwing themselves at me.
Its called an engagement.
The stupidity of that statement is stunning.
Maybe by early marriage they mean at 7 or 8, like their Muhammed’s bride.
Yes, except for IT workers, then if isn't committed, you rollback and try again later.
They resort to no sex for self serving and misguided reasons now.
This is a wash...
I’ll bet the guys who read utility meters are pleased to hear this. The “silver lining” for the rest of us: installation of “smart meters” will slow to a crawl.
So are they saying lesbians will be demanding sex from the female farmers to get food? Or are the female farmers all lesbians and will be demanding sex from straight women who are hungry? I'm so cofused.
Funny, I seem to notice that ALL sex is transactional
in one way or another...
If I owned their body parts, I would be on a mission to share them with the world.
Babs Lee knows her constituents well. The question might be asked is within the “takers” culture she reps, which do not now have transactional sex in one form or another?
“Isn’t all sex transactional? “
“Yes, except for IT workers, then if isn’t committed, you rollback and try again later.”
LOL - especially considering that I “do it” all day in a database.
... and if you’re normalized, you’ll have all those constraints to deal with.
Then you have Hibernate’s perversions... one-to-many, merges, and if Hibernate doesn’t get what she asks for immediately, it’s fatal.
