    That’s the point, isn’t it? If the term wasn’t specifically coined for this, it’s been long used to shame sex workers. Which is sort of funny, considering all labor involves selling your body in some form or another.

      I am not following your explanation. The phrasing is extremely unclear.

      The idiom is at least somewhat derisive, both historically and intrinsically.
