Your right, this has never been a good thing as, the second we try and step out.. we get hurt. But the fact is we get hurt every day. Last night... this was the last thing I read. Take a moment and read all the way through the link.

After reading that are you telling this is such a sweet deal???? We are stigmatized, we are looked down upon and we are killed without society even really caring. So, if there aren't a few who are willing to take the hit, this will never stop. Even the UN and the World Health Organization called for the US to get it's head out of the sand at the International Aids Conference in July.
Now for many this is just too real, and that's okay. That is exactly why we provide illusions for you. It is part of the job. But with out a change to our social structure and getting real about how are lives are, we will always be denied those social liberties that other enjoy, such as protection under the law. Our rapes will go unnoticed and our deaths won't ever matter. I don't expect most to even get involved, but you will when it is your daughter, your mother, your sister, your wife, your girlfriend, or your loved one of any kind. In fact, I can almost promise you that all of a sudden you will be leading the parade. Funny how we all only see life through our own lives experience.
So, if you don't care about this stuff, and this is a fantasy board totally for you, right on. I so applaud your right to have your own opinion and agenda. But for me, this is my life and my profession. US women have to be safe and lucky 100% of the time, while those wishing a woman in this industry harm, only has to be lucky once...
Staggering if you think about it, and it happens every day, more than once a day across the US...
