Home » Working Girls Speak: Shame On You, Diane Sawyer

20/20

Submitted by kristen (not verified) on 26 March 2008 - 5:51pm.

   Unfortunately, I did not see 20/20. I don't think that there will ever come the time that Diane Sawyer, Barbara Walters, Katie Couric, etc. would ever find any positive things to say about being a sex worker whether it is legal or not. It is an unfortunate fact that  our society  cannot look at the reasons it would be beneficial to legalize prostitution. We are still stuck in old world thought processes and I wonder if we will ever come out.

   I look at this scandal with Eliot Spitzer. He really was crucified because of the hypocrisy of it all. He went after people and bullied them while behaving like the moral authority. Isn't it a silly thing that he was forced to resign because he paid for sex. Is it really anyone's business other than his wife? Our new governor had affairs. Is that more acceptable because when he committed adultery, he didn't pay for the actual sex act? That is what Diane Sawyer should have been looking at.

  As far as unbiased reporting, you won't see it when it comes to these issues. She wants to be seen as a role model and a champion for women's causes. In reality, if a woman chooses to be a sex worker, than isn't that her choice, and shouldn't we be empowering her and doing everything possible to make sure she is safe in her choice?
