    So people are free to think whatever they want about the profession, but when you start referring to them with terminology you know has transformed into a common insult, you're no better than the schoolyard bully calling the slow kid a retard. And you're free to do so, it's just that.. well, that's when you kinda start losing my respect, but I'm pretty sure you don't care.
    I don't know where you live but prostitute can be quite a derogatory term up here on planet earth.

    What fucking right do I have to judge an adult that I have never met, for wanting to make money from sex? It's her body, not mine, and she is of an age where she can decide for herself what she wants to do. Nobody is forcing her into anything, it is all her own choice and therefore she is perfectly entitled to go ahead with it.

    I think a big issue is legalization of prostituition would send moral messages to citizens. At least that's what the vibe I'm getting is.

    I've never heard it used as an attempt to insult someone.

    didnt read whole thread, but the girl that sold her virginity for $780,000 to some japanese guy, they sealed the deal in an airplane over international waters, so as to avoid any prostitution/ other complicating factors. She wasnt worth $780,000, but she was obviously the more attractive of the 2

    Most people loose their virginity in their teens, I don't have an issue as long as it is consensual.
    Lines will inevitably have to be drawn however. Of course we decide for kids, even if that means over their sexuality. If we didn't, paedophilia would not be an issue and it is always going to be an issue.

    The use of whore in modern day language almost never implies prostitution, at least in America. It's just another way of calling a girl a slut.

    Saying "that girls a ho," comes from whore.

    So if you are referring to that way people spoke 100 years ago, sure, whore quite literally means prostitute. If you are talking about modern day language, not really.
    It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere.

    That's peculiar.

    Tell you what. Go and ask some girl you have never met if she works as a prostitute, then try and explain to her how it isn't a derogatory term or a derogatory thing as she's entitled to do what she wants with her body, while you're being slapped left and right with a 5kg handbag.

    Just because you see whores in television it doesn't make it normal, appreciated or any less objectifying.
    Prostitution turns women into objects. Not talking about being sexually free.
    I'm talking about getting paid to be used.

    Many dont have a choice and NOONE can judge that kind of situation.
    But this?
    You sell your body cause you want a bigger house? Want to finish college?
    No problem, but don't complain when people treat you for what you are... A prostitute, an object, a whore.

    As in the normalisation/acceptance of paedophiles and paedophilia? I'll oppose it at every turn. If the world ever reaches a point where parents are vilified by society for wanting to keep their 5 year old away from some adult, kid-fancying monster i'd probably take the first ticket out of Planet Earth with a bullet to the cranium.

    While I'm at it I think I'll go asking around if people are homosexuals, homeless, communists, socialists, or any number of things with a social stigma attached and see how they react. That reasoning just falls apart. If everything someone can get offended by would be considered a derogatory term and an insult, we'd have no words left to use. The difference between those and common insults is pretty clear.

    What exactly do you mean by "people treat you for what you are", and why should a person not complain about this? Does being a prostitute somehow justify unequal treatment, justify insulting someone? Or what the hell?

    We objectify people around us all the time. Underwear commercials, models, pornstars, miss / mr universe competitions, booth babes at conventions, the list goes on and on and on. Is anyone who's ever used their body for personal gain, henceforth forever known as nothing but an object?

    That's where you are wrong. Those words are describing what someone is when it's not something that's regarded highly.

    Whore in that context might have a different meaning (i.e. slut/promiscuous). But a whore can still be a prostitute. The former is just more familiar than the latter.

    Males don't have sexual worth, don't you know. Only women do.

    Who the fuck would pay $600,000+ for some slag's virginity? Could get a goddamn Porsche for less... Hell you could get a Lambo for less.... probably provide more satisfaction too.

    Social stigma attached? I cannot believe you can't find the difference between the words you mentioned and "prostitute", someone selling his/her body for money. Are they really the same to you?
    The silly things you get to say when you desperately want to prove a point...

    Yes. You use your body in your work do get favours? Yes you're an object. You use your body to buy silly materialistic things? Yes you're an object. You are being used in change for money/stuff.
    You can put it as nicely as you can in that fantasy world of yours but that's the way it is and to be honest RIGHTLY SO.
    RESPECT for the women who didn't bend over to their boss and lost their jobs.
