In Case

anybody cares, this is supposed to be a report of what prostitution is like:





I hate to tell people, but it isn't a "career," or a "profession" like being a doctor, lawyer, or teacher. It's done for money when women (and some men) realize they have no other options to make decent money, which is a tragic commentary on women and society.

This report is like the old Phil Donohue programs in the 1970s, which tended to glorify prostitution and pornography. Shows like Donohue and Geraldo Rivera's program in the 1980s glorified pimps like Reno's very own Joe Conforte, now a fugitive from justice. Both prostitution and pornography are terrible and exploitative. But when women are objectified, as they are in either endeavor, who cares? They're "choices," "victimless" crimes, and all of that other crap. But I ask these questions: If ALL women had equal opportunity in this economy to make decent money, would any of them resort to this? If men actually respected women, would they demand women sell their bodies for their own selfish purposes?

But isn't prostitution a great way to make easy money? Forget your dignity and your contempt for men. You can retire rich by the time you're thirty--that is, if you don't spend all of your money on drugs to deaden the pain and die as a result.

I don't care if these women make $20 a trick or $5,000. It's disgusting no matter what the price.

This report is disgusting.
