Quotes Containing prostitution:
Rosalie Maggio, The Dictionary of Bias-Free Usage (1991): ''Heavily reinforced by advertising, which uses women''s sexuality to sell everything from razo blades to cars, this concept has had invidious results: prostitution , rape, laws and societies that "protect" women and relegate them to the status of children, words and attitudes that label women solely by their sexuality, even murder when the mythic cultural promise that women exist for the sexual pleasure of men goes unfulfilled.''
