When women do it, they're whores. When men do it, they're empowered.

But I thought a tenet of today's lib "feminism" (fauxminism) is that all sex work, including prostitution, is empowering for women. In other words, women (and girls) who some would describe as "whores" are supposedly empowered by definition. In fact, according to the lib fem stance, they're the most "empowered" women of all.

One thing is a woman engaging in sex work. "Empowering" and acceptable. Another thing is a "normal" woman who's just slutty. Not acceptable. I think this is the line of reasoning.
