The difference between a wife and a whore, hopefully, is that the whore is banging anyone for money while the wife is only banging her husband. That's a huge difference.NorthAmericanguy wrote:I agree with Conrfed. The main problem is that in most cultures being a hoe is considered taboo so most of us are brought up to believe that a woman in sex work is wrong or low status. Thing is, and I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but there is not much difference between a hooker and a wife. All women exchange sex and their companionship for male resources in some way shape or form.Winston wrote:You're the only one who says that Cornfed. I don't know any guy who would want his daughter to be a whore. Come on now. Get real. You're probably just saying that too. You'd lose respect for her if she did.
I'm just saying that this is one of life's many ironies, and asking for a way to justify it.
If I had a daughter it makes no difference if she got married or if she was a hoe, because at the end of the day, some guy is going to have her bent over. If my daughter were a hoe, all I would want for her safety is to do what she does in a safe clean environment and she got the most she could get for her time.
If a wife contributes financially to the household finances, whether more or less, then is she really trading sex for money?
I think you've got it slightly skewed. Of course, assuming the wife isn't out screwing everything that moves.
Also, very few Issan families are starving. They don't have what they want, which is the difference. Their wants aren't met, many of their needs are. I lived in Issan a while back and while there are indeed poor people, nearly all have food, electric, and even cars. Nevertheless, this sounds like a possible photojournalism project for me. My interest is peaked.
