I would have done it for my children if there was no other work that paid a living wage for a single mom. And I hate stripping and clubs.
But by the grace of God or just luck, I didn't have to do it. It would be awful. I think if you have a lot of faith, no matter what era, you can find a way around it, but I'm not sure. That Jewish woman slept with that creepy Nazi to try to save another Jew. She is counted among the righteous.
I met a German woman in a little grocery store who told how she had to prostitute herself during the war to get food for the rest of her family. She still felt bad about it, like it dogged her the rest of her life. I felt compassion for her.
I don't think much of the rest of it. Some women seem to like the thrill of it and the attention. Some even find husbands to raise their children that way. My ex-husband married one.
What a crazy f'in world. More crazy stuff has been happening in my life lately. My granddaughter had to wait on her grandfather, his daughter and her two boys at the mall the other day. She asked him if he knew her. He looked and said, something like yeah, you're pretty.
Now she's furious because she didn't know her mom went out there, and their daughter went ballistic on her for not helping her dad. The first thing she (my gdaughter) said was what did he ever do to help her?
I met up with him out shooting a race and didn't recognize him. Deja vu.
Shoot. She's got a fine weave. That didn't grow in the backyard.
I'm not sure I could make heads or tails of that, but God bless ya anyhow.
NO ONE IN AMERICA HAS TO DO THIS. It has nothing to do with "luck". Your comparison to a woman "sleeping" with the Nazi's in order to help her country has ZERO relevancy to this case in Durham in the United States of America.
We are the most prosperous nation in the world. Our starving "here" is not "starving". The amounts of hand-outs and dollars via taxpayer forced "charity", and then the great charity of the United States people on THEIR OWN. FROM THEIR OWN HEARTS.
The stripper became a stripper because SHE CHOSE TO become one. The opportunities in this country abound SO GREATLY people by the MILLIONS -- BREAK LAWS TO GET HERE.
Strippers CHOOSE to become Strippers. Prostitutes CHOOSE to become Prostitutes, in America.
Unless you wanna talk about the illegal immigrant trade where women, illegally coming across the border are being forced into sexual prostitution.
This too, involves a choice. These women, no matter their circumstances, are choosing to break the law in illegally entering the U.S.
Sexual predators are glad.
But no, this stripper has not a corner on the "good profession" or "morality" claim.
Or, are you suggesting that black America is still on the plantation having to "choose" prostitution because "discrimination" is so rampant? That we live in "civil war"?
We don't.
