Connecticut AG Richard Blumenthal's response to BackPage.com's reasonable response:
"I am deeply disappointed by this unfortunate and unfounded resistance to taking common-sense steps toward protecting women and children. I am hopeful that the company will reconsider its resistance and do the right thing. I will consult with my fellow attorneys general and consider possible next steps."

This makes no sense.
How are women and children being hurt by consenting adults advertising for hookups?

Because people are using the argument that all prostitutes are not doing it out of their own free will but are being forced into it by human traffickers and they are claiming that young girls are being advertised as well..
The problem is, without them being on insert site X here they'll just find another venue and go deeper into the shadows and back on the street corners.
Also, keep in mind this is just something that has been drummed up by politicians to get votes by looking tough on crime..

Again with a politician's press release. Not only political bullshit, but low-quality political bullshit. r/MensRights, I am disappoint.
Blumenthal's maneuvering for political gain. And he's doing it in a prepared statement. You guys do realize that this happens every year in every congressional district in every part of the world, yes?

Still, he's all about the "women and children." Most non-sexist politicians have moved on to just "children."

madam, we grow tired of your rhetoric.
Seriously?

If women do indeed need protection, why should we men provide it to them? Men, when you feel the urge to protect a woman, ask yourself a question first: "What has she done for you lately?"
Exactly, I thought chivalry was 'benevolent sexism' and therefore bad. Or more importantly, I thought women were strong and independent.
They should protect themselves. I will be a human shield to NO woman.
I've realized that the main differences between men in our misandric society is the degree to which we are forced to be a human shield for women. Or walking ATM machine.
Women are the tool the state uses to oppress men!
My attitude towards women is as follows: "But why should we save them when they stand for nothing? If they deserve life let them stand for themselves!"
