Sex for sale!

I was looking through some blogs from last weeks lecture and found something that I totally disagree with. I apologise that I can't remember the bloggers name or title.It wasn't the blogger him/herself, but the lnik that they used on a blog about prostitution. Quote;

"4. MYTH Women choose to enter prostitution. It’s better to choose to make lots of money as a prostitute than to choose to work at a minimum wage job like McDonald’s. FACT: It is profoundly unjust to declare that prostitution is an acceptable job for some women - those who are mostly poor, mostly women of color, mostly young. Prostitution is an intrinsically abusive institution and women stay poor in prostitution (although lots of cash passes through their hands on the way to pimps, stripclub managers, bartenders, taxi drivers, casino hosts and other predators). " http://www.prostitutionresearch.com/c-laws-about-prostitution.html

Now, obviously, I'm intelligent enough to know that the majority of prostitues do get forced into it. I'm also intelligent to work out that there are roughly three other groups. Firstly, there are the prostitutes who have an unfortunate crack addiction and sell their body to buy a rock or two. I'm not going to suggest that this addiction is always the fault of the woman, but, generally, if you're addicted to shit like that you're going to do whatever it takes to earn some cash for it. Secondly, we have the high upper-class escorts. Despite what people say, this is still prostitution. Obviously, not all escorts choose to sleep with their 'date', but many do. I'm pretty sure they'd argue with the above 'FACT' that they get little money for their job. Finally, we have women that very simply love sex! The type that will never complain about having a headache or being tired. I'm neither for or against prostitution in all fairness, but it seriously annoys me when I read things like this that generalise and sterotype. It cannot be denied that prostitution is mainly associated with pimping, rape, sexual abuse etc, but sometimes... well, it's just not.

Also, I don't think that using the idea that prostitutes have little money because of 'bartenders and taxi drivers' is a very good arguement. That's where most students spend their money on weekends.
