I've happily discovered that my reading material is very off-putting to subway pickup artists; I'm an avid reader of true crime books, and these guys recoil when they notice I'm reading "The Stranger Beside Me", Ann Rule's book about Ted Bundy, for example. I've gotten the same horrified reaction from PUAs when they…

Well, I'm a WASP, but I have no idea what you're trying to say.

I love this - thank you for posting! <3

What a clever, smart little kitty! And adorable, too!

Very true.

So true.

Agreed. Not only is her way of making a living irrelevant, but constantly mentioning the fact she's an adult film performer makes her even more vulnerable to the misogynist, judgmental assholes who just can't wait to say it was "her fault that her violent ex beat her up, because, well, look at what she does for a…

This is worse than being insensitive - this is cruelty.

This is hideous. I hope the creep who did this to her is put away in prison for a very long time. The violence against us women just gets worse, and it's both frightening and heartbreaking.

Because, as I mentioned to someone else in this discussion, it's a euphemism that, in my opinion, glosses over some of the harsh realities of prostitution. In any case, I'm not a fan of euphemisms in general, no matter what the topic, as I find euphemisms to be somewhat dishonest. I used to be a hooker on the…

I'll ignore your name-calling, which is childish. The phrase "sex worker" is definitely a euphemism for prostitution; per Merriam-Webster, the definition of "euphemism" is as follows: "a mild or pleasant word or phrase that is used instead of one that is unpleasant or offensive."

Thank you.

What a tragedy. I was aware that Robin Williams had problems with depression as well as with drug and alcohol addiction, but I never realized just how troubled he really was. This is so heartbreaking. I'm so sorry.

Very true.

I had no idea this was going on; thankfully, I've never seen any of these hateful, ugly gifs. How terrible for the Jezebel staff to have to monitor this situation. I'm not technically savvy, so I can't offer any suggestions as to how to combat these abusive posts. To the Jezebel staff: you have my full appreciation…

Dawkins has always been an asshole. This incident is further proof.

LOL! Wake up: he's a dude!

I understand what you mean - that it's an umbrella term - but it's also used by a few people of privilege who try to gloss over and pretty-up some rather harsh realities within prostitution. I used to be a prostitute, on the streets, and I had some very close calls, so I'm well aware of the risks involved in…

Exactly.

Sadly, that's true. Many years ago, I used to be a hooker out on the streets, and I knew a couple of other girls who turned tricks while visibly pregnant; their pimps made them do it, and a lot of tricks were willing to go with them. Sick world.
