"You've already been caught in numerous lies, so I won't bother wasting any more time with you beyond this."

Lies? Such as? Saying something is not the same as fact.

"Not really, actually. People go into waitressing because they feel they have no other options. They are usually psychologically involved, poor, undereducated, and so on. You're subscribing to the myth that a person can leave their job and just pick up another one at any time, potentially one that's better. That's not true. There is an entrapment in legal waitressing just as in illegal waitressing."

There actually isn't entrapment in waitressing, not nearly as like in Prostitution. When you are a waitress you are not typically forced to live in a prison-like compound, nor are you docked and fined the vast majority of your pay.

And no, Waitresses are not usually psychologically involved, undereducated, or poor. They come from all walks of life. I know of Grad-students and post-graduate students who are waitresses. Likewise, lots of high-school graduates are waitresses. There is an extremely large percentage of prostitutes, however, who do not have a high school education, and even more who don't have any college education. This reference and transplanting of variables simply doesn't work.

You do not see the same situations in Prostitution.

You haven't a fucking clue what my job is like so how on earth could you decide whether my comparison is offensive or not. I'll tell you right now that my job completely undermines my psychological health.

Are you locked in your office for weeks or months? Does your job force you to not own a car? Are you forced to sleep with 30 or more men in a single day? Does your job dock the vast majority of your pay($50-$100 for something as simple as 'being late for roll-call'), and then fine you for minor infractions? Does your employer beat you? Does your employer physically rape you? Does your employer metaphorically rape you as well? Does your employer starve you for days because you don't fit a sort of 'idea' of what you should look like By your occupation, are you denied health insurance? Does your job constantly subject you to people who may have STDs, and are not tested? Are you constantly subjected to a lifestyle full of drugs and addiction necessarily due to your job? Is there a chance you were forced into the job by living in a less developed area, and then kidnapped and moved into an entirely other country? Likewise, could they have coerced you with lies of wealth and fame? Do the people at your work, then, keep you in a drug addicted stupor so you can't run away?

These are all objective situations which prostitutes, legal or illegal, face all across the world.

I would absolutely love to be a prostitute, it would be a million times better than my current job.

That, my friend, is an assumption. You're idealizing the lifestyle of a prostitute without looking at how they actually live.

I won't waste any more of my time knowing you'll simply counter with more lies."

What lies?

"With that, I'm through with you."

Concession accepted. Your surrender is taken without wrath or malice.
