Well, in ways...I guess I'm just not okay with either women or men selling themselves to get an advantage (just my own perspective, though). Straight world or not, prostitutes (male or female) are a big affront to me in ways, since both gender prostitutes get to earn a much more comfortable living without having to work at all while many men AND women end up fighting harshly the hard and more productive way on living and contributing to society. But, you're right in a sense. Males should be held up to standard the same way as females. Both should learn to become the best they can be without resorting to the lowest, easiest way out.

Also, keep in mind that a majority of the sex work places out there in the world are NOT what you would consider democratic (many of the women and men out there are forced to stay in one place and sold to others like cattle, and I feel bad for them about that since they really can't do anything to get out of that status). Even if the government were to legalize prostitution, many of these places would actually force children to claim that they are being legal and so forth, and considering how traumatized the individuals involved are...I wouldn't be surprised if many of them shut up just to stay alive. Hence, my stance on all prostitution as something that must be destroyed.

As for me calling a woman a "prostitute" or anything of those lines...keep in mind that I can call men that as well. Insults are insults. Cunt, I never use, because I think it is too particularly female-oriented.

Also, said women are not exactly wanting sexual attention as much as getting it to pay themselves a living (remember that Miley Cyrus did that photo to earn money)--something that really is synonymous to prostitution, though this time with the woman taking advantage of the patriarchal ideals to feed herself, which hurts other women in general due to their association with her through gender.
