Splendid_ I'm not sure how you come into contact with 'street' girls, but I have known one or two in a professional (mine, not theirs :lol2: ) capacity, so I can understand the slightly skewed view of prostitutes you seem to be presenting, as I had the same view.
I can guarantee you that there are people working, that carry out the work in exactly the same way as a lot of people carry out their work. Some days they look forward to working and others they really can't be arsed and feel like doing nothing. No individual forces them to work. There may be socio-economical factors, but we're all slaves to those in a consumer society. They know in advance how much the agency that they work through is going to take from their payment (if they work through an agency). They don't obviously have some of the problem that plagues street girls and live a socially-accepted 'normal' life, completely unremarkable apart from the acceptability of their chosen profession.
It does sound like you're tarring all prostitutes with the same brush and this isn't fair (never thought I'd say that Splendid was being unfair :shock: ).
If I have got the wrong end of the stick then I appologise, but that's the message I'm getting from what you've written.
No, you weren't mistaking anything I have written. I am aware of the type of ladies of which you speak. I would still argue that those ladies don't see it as a career option or would admire their daughters for doing it. They are pushed by circumstance.
