It was just the laziest way to apply emphasis. Didn't mean to shout.

And yeah, I know honest sex workers who aren't ashamed and have no reason to be. Not everyone's a crack-whore stereotype.
The Happy Hooker stereotype is far less representative, in any place in the US, at least, other than Nevada.

Also, morality and mores and feminism aside, you say "sex workers." That term usually includes porn performers, phone sex operators and go-go dancers. Not the same thing as "prostitute", especially as analogy or metaphor, as was the case here.

I remain deeply skeptical as to whether students ever pay online essay-writing mills as a way to obtain examples of academic writing to critique. There is not exactly a shortage of freely available academic writing to read. Just a shortage of original essays for cheaters to submit without being caught by automated plagiarism detection services.
No kidding?
