The word "whore" is a descriptive one that deserves no emotional attachment. If you let it affect you in a negative manner than you have issues you need to deal with because far more think of the word in regards to the profession than might use it in your presence.
I am sure you have read reviews of your time with guys (don't verify that) that were overly descriptive and dehumanizing but were in fact an accurate reflection of time spent. The ladies here are "still human beings and deserve respect" right? Yet the reviews are popular and wrote for the guys,
My problem here is the "motivation" behind many of the guys that "defend" the whores here. In many it is shallow and only done seeking approval and attention....
It is also the premise that the ladies are incapable of defending themselves which is even more an issue because of the fact that the ladies here represent the "professional" side of the relationship...
Do you want to be defended by someone SIMPLY because you are a lady without regards to whether or not you are right?
Because many find that to be belittling and demeaning as well.
