This could lead us on a never ending discussion, LOL. Ex: why do "typically" women dominated professions pay so little. Why must a woman generally have to use her body to make a lot of money? I agree- women need to help all women by not caving into the "I have to do it for money" attitude.
It's much like

UGH! I disagree. In countries where prostitution is legal, AIDS is really rampant. YUCK. No way.
We have to accept that at least with stripping,

Yea, but society conditions too many people, both men and women, that women are supposed to be treated this way- and its ok, because women in America/Canada/free world are treated so wonderfully compared to every where else.

Most definitely!
