Prostitute checked into our hotel!

Was this her?

I don't agree that prostitution should be illegal, quite the opposite.
Procuring a person for prostitution, that should be illegal. As should running a brothel/prostitution ring.

Prostitution should be made illegal.

And how do you think that would go when most rapes aren’t convicted now?

Why not leave a comment about it on trip advisor @GrumpyL tbh I would!

Maybe the hotel will come back and verify 😆

Buffypaws thank you for posting that article.

There truly are some vile pieces of shit around, and this clarifies that.
Prostitution should be made illegal.
Listen to those who know.
Not some cunt who hates women.

If it’s rape in 80% of cases then the hotels being used should be calling the police and not treating such a situation as the norm and acceptable.
It doesn’t sound like this hotel is taking any care whatsoever.

That was my thought! There are some great cocktails and ‘meals’ to be had there now. It’s quite ‘classy’ too.

Hotels only take details of the person making the booking - and many don't ask for any form of ID.

Anyone can have random people coming to stay overnight with them in a hotel with no checks made.

She hasn’t been to King’s Cross since it’s been gentrified either. 😂

I agree.
Hotels take peoples details when they pay for a room. They will know who they have on site.
Loud’s of random guys walking in and out without verifying their name and address, which they won’t be, is extremely concerning.
I wouldn’t want to be staying in a hotel where this is the norm.

It really isn’t.

The name change is part of a much wider movement to promote the sale and purchase of women’s bodies for men’s sexual gratification as an entirely legitimate form of business, the same as any other. Women who hold the opinion that prostitution is a form of male abuse of women are derided as ‘swerfs’. ( sex work excluding radical feminists) and they have been hounded and attacked ( physically) if they try to hold rallies objecting to prostitution or other commercialized forms of male sexual abuse or use of women.

Clearly the people attacking them understand the term sex worker has not just been coined to give dignity to women, or to include all forms of commercialized sexual use of women, or to include men too, or any of the other similar reasons given by posters on here.

There’s a much bigger picture that I would encourage people to look into before repeating the term ‘sex worker’.

The disgusting attitude is thinking that buying another human to use as a tool masturbate into or over is acceptable.

I've no idea how you come to the conclusion that I think it's not possible to rape prostituted women. The scum who think that are the punters who buy them. They are rapists.

I'm More at shock at £250 a night for the hotel 🙀😂

You say what she was wearing made it obvious. What do a short skirt /dress. High heels

Or was it as paid less money then you ?

Guessing you had a family room so more costly

I'm a mn and I know other mn who work nights in London but don't live there and hire hotel rooms out daytime so that they can Get some sleep before going back to work the next night

Men think with their dicks. It doesn’t matter what terminology is used, they’ll always do it. At least we can afford those women some dignity.

I stayed at a hotel this weekend. I arranged early check-in because that worked for my schedule and I paid in cash. I also got a large discount, because I put some club card points towards it when I booked.

I guess I'm a sex worker now. Oh well. Hopefully it'll pay better than teaching.

l doubt the victim gives a ‘flying fig’ about what you call them. I would think educating men as to what they’re perpetuating when they pay for sex is more important to them. And whitewashing it with terminology designed to reduce it to a purely commercial transaction isn’t going to encourage critical thinking.

I see the OP lit the blue touch paper, returning only to state the woman paid cash and was obviously a prostitute. She has not returned to explain what was so obvious that it lead to her damning judgement of this woman.

@Rosscameasdoody That is rather naive to think that calling women as prostitutes for longer than history can record has not stopped men from availing these services. As if men involved in this sprawling industry give a flying fig about terminology. The change of terminology is to afford dignity to the victim in how we call them. However, call them what you want. I was just presenting my opinion.

It doesn’t. But the terms ‘sex workers’, ‘sex trade’ or ‘sex industry’ are designed to detract from facts which most people would rather not think about. What it comes down to is that human trafficking and forced prostitution go hand in hand and traffickers aim for countries where prostitution is legalised or tolerated and therefore more profitable. And when men avail themselves of these services they would rather think of it in terms of a paid transaction with a ‘worker’ from a ‘trade’ or ‘industry’ than engage with the fact that there’s a high chance that what they’re actually doing is paying to rape a woman who has no choice but to submit because she’s indebted to human traffickers or hooked on drugs by her pimp, and possibly underage.

IF this woman was a sex worker...What angers me is why the woman is to blame here and slaughtered?! And the eww factor. If there wasnt men willing to pay for sex this woman wouldn't be there.

You must lead a very sheltered life. Virtually every hotel in London is used by sex workers (male and female). Either visiting guests or using the rooms as a base.
There's a notorious BDSM woman who based herself at Claridges for years for wealthy clients (she passed away during COVID). Male sex parties are very frequently held across London hotels.
Porn is also filmed and staged frequently in hotel rooms.

Did you not know this?

And calling them a prostitute helps them how?

80% of the profits from human trafficking are made from selling women and girls for the purposes of sexual exploitation to pay back the ‘debt’. And most countries with a legalised sex industry have higher levels of human trafficking. Do you think these women are engaging in consensual sex ?

The victims are often under age so by definition are incapable of giving consent.

Prostitutes are often hooked on drugs by their pimps as a means of control. Do you think they are engaging in consensual sex ?

I don't think any of us need articles to tell us about the horrors of the sex trade. Despite all you post, my argument is that you still fail to show how calling the woman a prostitute helps to promote the cause you are espousing. In fact it demeans the woman and reduces protection for the very same women you say you are concerned about. The first step in recognizing human rights for these victims is removing the demeaning word we've stuck on their forehead since forever. Words do matter and even a slight change in a label has an effect on the psychology of these women. The woman in the article herself calls it the sex trade at times and not prostitution. However you are right in saying we don't see eye to eye on this and I've said what I have to say. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
