more proof pro-pornstitution jerkwads are thoughtless clods

Is that too inflammatory a title?

When the very phrase "working women" is a euphemism for prostitution, what the hell are all these pro-sex industry assholes droning on about how once prostitution is seen as work for women then men will treat them better? To be a woman is to be a "working woman" because whore is the natural work of women, the work women were put on the planet to do. "Working girls" doesn't mean young mothers, "working women" doesn't refer to cooks or farmers.

The nasty title and tone are a result of the article's last sentence. Sometimes I really want to set fire to America's rape rooms.

Prostitution Is Latest ‘Sin Sector’ Business Hit by Economic Downturn

High fuel and food prices have cut into truckers’ budgets for Nevada brothels, adding “working women” to the list of supposedly recession-proof businesses to get pinched.

Sluggish Economy Leaves Brothel Employees Idle

Donna’s Ranch, a Nevada brothel located some 180 miles west of Salt Lake City, has seen a 20 percent decrease in its business, owner Geoff Arnold told the Los Angeles Times. From 2006 to 2007, the business, which operates legally in Nevada, reported a growth in revenue of 7.6 percent, pulling in nearly $1 million. Arnold believes the brothel will earn about $200,000 less in 2008.

Long-haul truckers, who account for roughly 75 percent of the brothel’s clientele, point to higher gas and food prices as the cause of their shrinking budgets for prostitution.

“It costs me in gas what it takes for me to spend a half-hour with you,” one of the regulars told brothel employee Marisol, according to the Los Angeles Times. Marisol says it used to take her weeks to make $5,000; now it takes months.

Other Nevada brothels have reported similar signs of an economic downturn. The Moonlite Bunny Ranch offered special deals to people using their economic stimulus checks to pay for services. The Mustang Ranch has reported steady business, but can’t provide enough work for all the women looking there for employment. “Even a 74-year-old applied,” writes the Los Angeles Times.

Musing on the oft-seen expression that when men want to dehumanize another man they treat him like a woman, Feminism 101 stuff reinforced by Abu Graib, etc.:

What does that mean, "to treat a man like a woman"? Does it mean he is made to menstruate and give birth? Does it mean making men cook food and clean buildings? Does it mean making men apply makeup to their faces and wear impractical shoes?

No. What is meant by "treating a man like a woman' is that he is made to be a whore. His body will be sexualized for the purpose of humiliation, his inability to refuse made clear, and he will be forced to actively participate in his own sexual abuse.

Women aren't treated like whores, whores are treated like women.
