Which means I have exactly two opinions to work with now. One being OP, of which I can understandably see being upset  by these words, given proper context and meaning outside of word definition alone. And the other being the exact opposite. She was a prostitute, by her own words.
The truth is, you could rename prostitution "happy sparkle fun time girls," and the moment someone figured out it had to do with sex, they would look down their nose at the title. Â It doesn't matter what it's called as long as society views the action as lacking in dignity or sinful or wrong (or pick another derogatory term, I suppose). Â Changing the words we use isn't going to fix that.
First of all, petitioning to change "Prostitute" to "Happy Sparkle Fun Time Gals." That is infinitely more fun to say.Â
And second, thank you for bringing that up because it had completely slipped my mind despite the fact that you are in fact totally right. At the end of the day no matter how you spin it Society is going to find a way to shame the title placed on the occupation because Society as a whole, though loving to promote sex and sexual conduct, has a strange fascination to beat down and bash any and everything that actually takes it a step further and indulges in it at any degree.
