As long as sex workers in any industry (prostitution, dancing, adult film) are viewed as less worthy of respect than workers in other fields they will be prone to exploitation and abuse. It is not enough to proclaim that prostitution should be legal, workers in these industries must also be empowered and part of that is granting them the respect of any other honest worker. I would never call a politician a “whore” because there is nothing wrong with what a prostitute does (and the fact that they do it in an environment so rife with danger, abuse, and exploitation makes it even less appropriate to mock them) but politicians deserve to be treated as pariahs.
