That seems pretty intolerant and sexist towards prostitutes and maids.

“Jobs for men”? Is she supposed to be a feminist? Or is she the usual feminist hypocrite who never thinks of checking the on the percentages of women working as sewer workers?

What’s a Steingraber? Sounds like some kind of BDSM device
