So, she was abused and has been very poor - gee, how unusual.I'm rolling my eyes at Glenn and the other Salon posters who are so certain that prostitution is all about empowerment and consent.
So adults who come from a poor background and have been abused can't consent or make choices for their own lives?
Let's round up all the poor people and victims of abuse and make them wards of the state, and appoint people like Mizmoon -- who knows what's best for them -- as their guardians to make their decisions for them.
I can't believe how patronizing people are. "She's poor and was abused so she obviously isn't capable of consent or making her own choices. Only people from middle class backgrounds are capable of real autonomy."
