Simply put, do you think prostitutes deserve respect?
Well, it is supposed to be the world's oldest profession and I see no problem with prostitutes who aren't being coerced into sex by a pimp/gang.Unfortunately, many prostitutes are basically slaves who have been sold into the sex trade.They are putting their lives in danger as the only means of survival. Legalizing prostitution may help combat this problem, but I'm not sure.
As William Blake said:Prisons are built with stones of law; Brothels with the bricks of religion.
But how could you respect someone who doesn't respect themselves?
Some may argue, selling your body is not respecting yourself your lessening the value of who you are and it speaks volumes about your character.
Lets take an example, two people in great need for money. The first one, walks into a shop, shoots(kills) the owner and grabs all the cash from the till. The second one however goes into prostitution.
In the end who has a worse reputation? The first person’s mistakes would be forgotten after a while.As the way society has been built, the second one would have a worse reputation terming her a "whore".
Do you think this is right? What are your opinions on this topic?
Are you able to respect prostitutes?
