There's nothing wrong with being a sex worker. I know many and they are some of the kindest, most generous people I know. Some of the best parents, teachers, and friends.
Melania is shitty because she is complicit or participatory in literal sex crimes against minors, not because she did sex work.
I have no problem with a prostitute becoming first lady or even president. Hell, we have lawyers as senators and representatives already. What's the difference?
For the first one, i dont think alone is enough to disqualify someone. Sex work is real work and theres no good reason it should be illegal, regulated yes, but not illegal. That being said, shes nothing but a lying piece of scum shit that was complacent (at least, prolly helped maxwell truth be told) in child rape. Her and trump both deserve to be jail.
Proud of the comment section here, standing up for sex workers. Came here to say what everyone else was saying, and was really happy to see that kind of solidarity.
As someone from an arguably more rational country, I literally have no idea what the Prime ministers partners do or have done. I dont know their names, or their kids names, or anything about them, because genuinely why does it matter?
I've always seen the US's obsession with the first household to feel like a hold over/ the us version of a royal family. And thats weird
Melania is no prostitute. She's lived a cushy life whoring herself out to gain a green card and get rich by every skeezy tactic available. An actual prostitute as president who has had to deal with the sleeziest creeps our society produces to make a decent living would likely be a vast improvement over what we currently have.
Excuse me, why shouldn't prostitutes be the first lady of the night? Being a hooker isn't the problem. It's that she's a fucking dirty trump sucking whore. All pedophiles should eat lead
I agree with the pedophile statement, but disagree about the prostitute statement. Yes, it is showing anger about Melania, but if there was someone who was the president's partner with a history that included being a sex worker, that should not matter.
Shaming that profession does not help people.
I would prefer if the attack on Melania spoke about her enabling pedophiles. That would be something worth the critique.
I care that she immigrated to the US under false pretenses, with a visa type that she clearly didn't qualify for. But her history of sex work is entirely irrelevant.
Fair enough, but it’s hard to imagine how a person in her position actively engaging in a cover up of her past helps in that regard. If anything it makes that situation worse.
The question you really should ask yourself is: Is sex work really something that needs disclosed openly, or is it just that person's business that we have no business pursuing, digging into or shaming?
One CAN argue that her covering it up isn't helping the conversation, but neither is having a de facto stance that people deserve to be dragged into the light, especially when that light is going to be used as an excuse to shame them as it's kinda being done here.
First of all, she isn’t just anyone. Any expectation of not having any and all aspects of her past drug into the light is ridiculous. Next, she is actively threatening anyone who dares speak of that past with SLAPP. She most certainly doesn’t deserve anything remotely resembling privacy.
Indeed. What are the current theories on her speech? Does she know something is coming down any day now, and is trying to put distance between her and the pedophile president?
Seriously, being a prostitute doesn't devalue you any less than being a factory worker. In fact, the service prostitutes provide help society more than making some billionaire richer.
Honestly we could do better with a few old fashioned prostitutes in congress. These new age ones that sell out their country and soul instead of just their bodies need to go.
If we're talking about sex prostitutes, I agree, but if we're talking about political prostitutes, no, please, throw them under a bus. Maybe back the bus over them too. If we started throwing them under busses maybe we could "drain the swamp" finally.
Yes, sex work is work. But I do think the sugar babies deserve some shame. Bringing a kid you don't love into the world just to anchor yourself to your sugar daddy is kind of messed up
Sure, if there is a clear transaction, that's just another form of sex work. If this was off a sugar baby website or personal ad or something, fair enough.
I mean the ones where there is an illusion of a relationship other than client/service provider.

Agreed, it's similar to people throwing queers, POC, or fat people under the bus as a means to insult someone they don't like (justified dislike or not). Don't drag entire broad categories into your insult, it's no fair.
I dunno. I think there are a few categories you can drag whole hog into insults. Pedophiles and Nazis are the obvious ones, but political prostitutes are another that are appropriate to this reply chain. Sex prostitutes can, and should, have the opportunity to work in and for the government, in government roles not related to sex, but political prostitutes should never be allowed anywhere near government office.
Point taken, but calling someone a 'political prostitute' just kind of seems like semantics, as though you were going out of your way to shit on sex workers.
I have no issue with arranged business style marriages any more than I have sex workers. IF two consenting adults wanna marry for any reason, thats fine. Melania sucks cuz shes a terrible person, not because she married for money/convienence
Any individual who knowingly enters into a marriage for the purpose of evading any provision of the immigration laws shall be imprisoned for not more than 5 years, or fined not more than $250,000, or both.

There's nothing about being a prostitute that disqualifies you for having a title who's only qualification is "married to a guy who's president".
There's nothing wrong with having a prostitute be president, for that matter.
What would be nice is if all the people involved were good people, or smart people, or hopefully both.

Wasn't Melania actually a child sex slave that Trump picked to marry when she was 12?

No, evidence suggests she was 28 when they met and she'd had a whole modeling career by that point

If it doesn't matter, then why cover it up?
inboxmefoxes
Because people that suck think that sex work is inherently bad and evil.
Makerofthingsmasherofstuff
I really don't care why Trump does things, he and every single Republican are fucks.
What I do care about is halting statements that punch down on people who are already seen as less than others.
Sex workers have been outcasts in society. This shaming of them has made their work dangerous. In Canada, this is shifting, but it's taking time.

Sure. But they're not first lady material. Even if the profession is fine. Which should be excruciating obvious

Why? Why cant they be a first lady?

I’d rather call her a gold digger

What about golddiggers who are married to a pedophile, had a daughter with a pedophile, friends with pedophiles and used her celebrity granted by pedophiles to get rich while staying vapid, elitist and useless? https://media2.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPWE1NzM3M2U1NWFkd2s2ZWhhYmZsbnA0bGRrM2h3M245NnZucnBsMWZxNjhpbGFkbyZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/l0HluDHud0wL28lUs/200w.webp
