‘Convicted’ prostitute? What the fuck is this phrasing?

Something that bugs me: why does the headline/article seem so focused on her being a mother? Lots of people have kids. Shouldn't it say teacher or woman?

Edit: she wasn't a teacher but served on an advisory schoolboard council. I didn't read the article.

I failed to see why there's a controversy here

This why you should always have a personal email and work email.

I can't figure out why the fact that she's a mom is the first thing in the headline.

[–] Waldowal 21 points 1 year ago

It's to shame her for having sex at least once.

I’m trying to figure out what her being a mom has anything to do with the story. She has kids, who gives a shit? In this country, you’re forced to do it, so what’s the point of calling someone out for it?

[–] TurboDiesel 17 points 1 year ago

Shame. How dare a MoThEr engage in something so base as sex work? It's written that way explicitly to shame her.

It's not illegal to work a 2nd job!?!

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

I hope she reads this.

Use the notoriety to write a book for teenagers. Intelligent parents will buy it, and smart kids will seek it out.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

So much for a skills-based education model.

Wait... Is there a difference between a prostitute and an escort? The headline makes it sound like she stopped being the former and is currently the latter.
