There's a word I'd like to see redefined:
Prostitute.
What exactly is a prostitute?
(Noun) A person who performs sexual activity for payment.
Maybe redefine is the wrong word. I'd like to see the definition expanded.
Here's why:
If you turn on the television and flip around a little, it won't be long before you come across a reality show like The Bachelor or Millionaire Matchmaker, where women are effectively pimping themselves out for camera time and fifteen minutes of fame.
Oh sure, they're not directly getting paid for sex, but have you ever seen how long one of them lasts if they hold out on affection past episode three?
Even on shows where competition isn't a factor, you can see women and men engaging in sexual activity simply because they know it'll get them more airtime.
How is this not considered sexual activity for payment?
The difference between these people and some woman walking the streets for money is about the same difference as a crack addict and some rich housewife in Texas addicted to pills.
There is no difference. It's just a matter of appearance.
Being a trophy wife is somehow not considered being a prostitute. When you're pretty and well-groomed, you're not a hooker--you're a gold-digger, which is a much cuter term.
Women who make it known that they want a man with money are considered old-fashioned, but women who want the money upfront and tell the man to take a hike afterwards are whores.
I'm just confused by that.
If prostitution is the adding of finance to sex, then a lot more people are prostituting themselves out there than we think.
Recently, I overheard some girl at a bar talking about how some girl she knows is a stripper now.
"I'm so disgusted by it," she said, "What a whore."
That girl proceeded to down two shots, make out with two of her friends (one guy, one girl), coerce another guy into buying her a drink, and finally she passed out on the dance floor.
Wow, I thought, there oughta be a word for that.
