Letter: Hypocrisy and using prostitutes
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.I MUST reply to Cathy Star's accusation of hypocrisy (Letters, 27 September).
She seems to think that my life is a cinch, and that I am surrounded by female servants. Well, it is not. I also have to work at a job that I hate, selling the only commodity I have, my labour. Women enter prostitution for exactly the same reason.
In response to Margaret Brown's letter, a man who uses prostitutes is no worse than the women who use their sex to advance their careers.
The truth is that both men and women suffer injustice. To call someone you have never met a hypocrite is skating on very thin ice. I have nothing to hide, I am not a cabinet minister]
