Yabby,

Someone can call them "practical girls" or "sex workers", but they are prostitutes.

They use men for money. Men have a sex drive, and prostitutes exploit that sex drive to get the money from men.

Prostitutes are very exploitative, and when there are too many prostitutes, or prostitution becomes common place, prostitutes also tend to make other women believe that they should also be exploiting men or using men for money.

Feminists are very similar, or worse in most ways.

*They use men for money. Men have a sex drive, and prostitutes exploit that sex drive to get the money from men.*

Err, not so different from the girl who marries the rich guy,
as she wants to spend his money. Everyone admires her though.
Mothers commonly even encourage it, she's made a "good catch".

Yabby,

She's made a "good catch".

Exactly, and the more prostitution there is, the more likely a woman only thinks of a man as a walking wallet.

I've even known 17 year old girls to say that they would not go out with a boy unless he had his own car.

There is no romance in prostitution. It is loveless and exploitative, and the more there is, the more we have a loveless and exploitative society.

We already have feminism without the need for more of a loveless and exploitative society.

Vanna, it seems to me that you don't understand the basics of
biology, or why pairbonding as we know it, evolved in the first
place. Or perhaps you have just watched too many holywood movies.

At the end of the day, females of species which require alot of
resources, pairbond with males to help provide them for the
offspring. Have you ever noticed how most women put their
kids first and foremost above all else?

Next shock horror, when you get rid of all the starry eyed stuff,
love is based on self interest. You love somebody for how
they make YOU feel. Be she cute, be she nice, whatever.

Hookers are simply being honest. Why should I knock honesty?

@ Vanna - I'm confused! Since when have feminists "treated men as a walking wallet on a continuous basis"?

Vanna, it sounds as though you're afraid of prostitutes and feminists, and therefore suggest they are one and the same. (Of course, prostitutes can - as some do - identify as feminists. But I don't that's the point being made here).

Back to the ARTICLE - a sad indictment on the limited legal rights of sex workers, and the unlimited powers of WA police force to crack down on these workers. Even scarier, this is the very police force that prosecuted an innocent man for murder in the mid-1990s, when it was obvious even to some in their ranks that he didn't commit the crime.
