    Yeah right, a couple of my good friends used to be sex workers so

    but a whore is a whore

    just seems ignorant and misogynist to me.

      A sex worker can be a honest whore. Nothing wrong with being a honest whore.

      Now being a sales weasel and making backroom deals, that’s a lying whore.

        Your comment feels like “a honest black person can be a good nigga, no wrong with that, but if hes not nice he’s a ***** nigga” IDK you just sound bad as hell.

          It’s probably the word ‘whore’. Similar to ‘cunt’, it hits a little different from ‘prostitute’ or ‘pussy’.

          Culturally, ‘whore’ is an acceptable word for me to use. Any permutation of the N word is not.

          I’ve spent a fair amount of time among drag queens(not necessarily sex workers but there is overlap), strippers, prostitutes and crack whores. Most of them are decent folks in hard times. It is rare that people willingly choose sex work, instead, it’s usually desperation and addiction. A desperate population does desperate things like petty crime.

      Its just a phrase about managing expectations. You can replace whore with literally any profession and its the same message.
