Frankly, I'd rather get into another 9mm vs. .45 debate or the famous TFP "Should I stay or leave?" routine.
What is your aim for this discussion?

My aim has been to filter out emotionally-charged stances and get to the real reasons why a person might find someone who is or has been involved in a sex profession so reprehensible, untouchable. Because when you take away reactionary phrases like 'selling your body' and terms like 'skank,' what are you left with? I can't help but think you are left with blanket generalizations that, like all blanket generalizations, don't have the capability of meaning jackshit when it comes to describing any one person in particular.

It doesn't mean that people won't still believe them and live by them, but it does mean that they might have to see them poked around a bit sometimes by people who think they are, well, silly.

Maybe you had designs that this thread could be a happy place where, one after another, TFP folks could drop by and have a laugh about how nasty whores and strippers are before stopping by the Titty Board for a goodnight wank.

Me, I'm just doing what I do and it's not passive aggressive.
