roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted January 26, 2011 Thanks for posting. Campaign like that can help get rid of the stigma and stereotype attached to being an escort. One thing I personally do, is refer to sp's as ladies. May seem silly, but at least to me, terms like hooker and prostitute feed into the stereotype, and the term whore I find downright offensive, it's a demeaning derogatory term. The ladies I have met have been intelligient and personable, a far cry from any stereotype that is portrayed. Just one guys opinion RG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capital Hunter 18263 Report post Posted January 26, 2011 Likely the most effective way to end violence against sex workers is to legalize sex trade under certain conditions and legislate very harsh punishments for violent pimps and those who carry out violence against sex workers (and act on it too). I fully agree that sex workers are someone's mothers and daughters but I believe these ads, though may be step in the right direction, but will have little affect on those cowards who actually do the violent acts against defenceless women who are trying to make a living for themselves or their kids. Those who do this are not humans in my book and don't deserve to live among the human society. Throw away the key on those who commit violence against weak and defenceless and women in particular. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cleo Catra 178382 Report post Posted January 26, 2011 This makes me so happy I'm almost in tears. A 'friend' of mine recently made a facebook status making fun of hookers who were brutally murdered. And someone responded saying 'who cares hookers aren't human beings anyway'. It was one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen (and clearly those people are not my 'friends' anymore) . But seeing this makes me remember there really are more smart people than jerks in this world. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markian 106 Report post Posted January 27, 2011 Nice to see this kind of thing. It's good to remind people that sex workers are real humans too (and for that matter, so are their clients! :icon_lol:) If more people knew about what kind of ladies and gentleman are really in this business it would challenge a lot of ideas. It's too easy to disparage when you don't realize who they really are. Thanks for sharing the link! M Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest c17mover Report post Posted February 4, 2011 http://twitter.com/firecatkitty Rene from Stepping Stone posted her top hate mail lines for this recent campaign on Twitter last Tuesday. Check em out. They also got a lot of flack from a lot of people and she was pretty down until I showed her this site and the support you all showed. thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest tr*****e Report post Posted February 13, 2011 I'm very happy someone had the balls to step out and do this. In my family, these issues are not talked about, but I know that if I brought it up, there would be lots of things said that I'd wish I never heard. So sad that some feel the need to dehumanize others just to feel morally superior.:vl: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
