Your lack of empathy for women in bad situations and the children that are usually along for the ride is antithetical to your religious views. You are calling women the exploiters in this scenario, and I can only assume that you have no real first hand experience in doing what you have to do to survive in the world. Talk about holier than thou. And mightily conflicted, I'd say.

Firstly, I haven't made any swingeing generalisations about women being strong and men being weak. You made that inference.
But yes I certainly did make the point about women being the exploiters in this situation - a point you haven't tried to deny.
Secondly, of course I have experience of doing what is necessary to survive. That's how I take care of myself and my family.
Women who turn to prostitution could just as easily get a job or earn money in some legitimate way.
Instead they indulge their greed and laziness and lack of morals to exploit men.
You seem very eager to excuse their behaviour as though there were no alternatives. Perhaps you are the one who is "conflicted" (whatever you mean by that!).
