I will make no apology for my terminology it suits the environment of the vice world

Violence in the vice world is ever present, it's a fact no shortage of proof

I don't accept murder in any walk of life, but I do understand the environment that sex workers find themselves in

Murder / violence is an occupational hazard for vice workers, it's got nothing to do with acceptance of anything or "VICTIM BLAMING" it's a FACT and always will be

It's the sex workers themselves that obviously accept the risk and working conditions of the profession they have chosen, otherwise they would not be sex workers

 

 

So is murder an occupational hazard of taxi drivers in your opinion or not?

Do you also consider being murdered as an occupational hazard of being a taxi driver?

Well to be quite honest lots of types of gainful employment that involves contact with the general public can be described as rather "iffy"

It goes without saying some more than others

I would suspect most if not all taxi drivers would have considered the possibility, especially during the hours of darkness

I assume that they would take whatever precautions they thought appropriate for their own protection / safety

Obviously being on their own could make them a prime target

We need to be aware and keep our guard up at all times for obvious reasons

So basically, it's no more dangerous to be a prostitute than a taxi driver?

Taxi driver is the job with the highest likelihood of being murdered, real job I mean, as in legal, and that is what my point is based around.  In places where prostitution is legal and provided for, the murder rate is not high, the issue is with its criminality and where that leads people to conducting their business.  So it could be argued that it is not an occupational hazard of prostitution but an occupational hazard of illegal prostitution.  So is it not true that referring to it as an occupational hazard of prostitution is victim shaming prostitutes for happening to have been criminalized by their government?

Well you said the figures would prove me wrong, I assumed you had those figures otherwise your comment is meaningless.

If you don't want to be criminalized, then I feel I should point out to you that's its best to obey the law, and that is all laws OH how much safer the world would be

I invite you to assume whatever you like "no skin off my nose"

It's always been an occupational hazard that needs to be taken into account if you decide to go down that road

Without doing any research ever heard of "Jack the Ripper" or more recently "The Yorkshire Ripper"

Many more examples of less newsworthy individual examples over the years that's the way it is

That involved some of their children,  as well as other young women I remember one very sick joke concerning those two

But we are getting further off topic now Jimmy
