"Sex workers" sounds so...so....communist, so Eastern bloc, so 1984-ish.

Even "working girl" sounds better. Or "sporting woman". Or "fancy woman". Or "streetwalker". Or "call girl".

Well, if you think about it, "Lady of the Night" actually IS kind of PC way of saying Prostitute. Sex Worker puts it right out there - no mincing words or happy little euphamisms. Unless of course the phrase is intended to somehow provide legitemacy, which I fear it is.
