I hope she reads this.

Use the notoriety to write a book for teenagers. Intelligent parents will buy it, and smart kids will seek it out.

It's not illegal to work a 2nd job!?!

I’m trying to figure out what her being a mom has anything to do with the story. She has kids, who gives a shit? In this country, you’re forced to do it, so what’s the point of calling someone out for it?

[–] TurboDiesel@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago

Shame. How dare a MoThEr engage in something so base as sex work? It's written that way explicitly to shame her.

So much for a skills-based education model.

Wait... Is there a difference between a prostitute and an escort? The headline makes it sound like she stopped being the former and is currently the latter.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

According to the publication, escort sites bill themselves as platforms for escorts to sell time and companionship and are legal in Texas, while prostitution is not.

How fucking stupid can you be? Have an actual expert teaching a subject and fire them for their practical experience. This is a person who not only understands the mechanics, probably better than most, but also the importance and the "how" of staying sexually healthy.

[–] aCatNamedVirtute@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So is it the authors mom or why exactly does that part matter?

[–] 13esq@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I guess it adds to the "it could be anyone!?" paranoia/hysteria. Who would've suspected a mom, of all people!

Imagine if the headline in 2020 was "Dad not re-elected as president."

What a weird framing.
