We try so hard to communicate, all of us to each other, the pain. We plead, we make analogies. The only analogy I can think of concerning prostitution is that it is more like gang rape than it is like anything else. Oh, you say, gang rape is completely different. An innocent woman is walking down the street and she is taken by surprise.
Every woman is that same innocent woman.
Every woman is taken by surprise. In a prostitute's life, she is taken by surprise over and over and over and over and over again. The gang rape is punctuated by a money exchange. That's the only difference. Now, we understand about male labor.
