Ok sure we can rightfully say the guy acted incredibly irresponsibe that he got drunk lost control in the moment and blew all his wages , now we know people at casino's who are hopeless gamblers do the same thing many times. Now think well Grace you are expecting us to see you as a sensitive compassionate person and so far you described the victimness of the your perception of the women - but what about that guy , oh well you say he was stupid and it was his fault, ok sure, but dont you think that perhaps the hooker that took his money may have been not a stupid person, thats its a good chance that she knows many men come to her and spend more than they should and perhaps like that guy his wages that should have been to provide for his famly, ok you say not her business she needed the money you say , tough shit you say, but then now
we can consider things from all different angles cant we, perhaps then someone might say oh well all is fair in love and war or "it all comes out in the wash" but chances are she knew he may have been over spending and what impacts it may have had but did she care ? he was just another number to her, in reality he was also a "human being -even if he did something stupid" as is she, but to her he was another number as you say she was perhaps another number to men right ? Perhaps then someone might there is different ways to measure and balance and calculate things.
I dont think Prostitution is great , I dont actually have a high oppinion of Prostitutes to be honest.
But I dont think all of them are victims, I think some of them are very aware of what they do and they do it of their free will- that is true for online porno industry too specifically independent pornographers, and this is why I see some of the arguments around the topic as hypocritical.
On the other hand there is for sure a good proportion of them that are very much in a position that they had little choice for (but not all of them )
