Yes, a “sex worker” is a prostitute; maybe that could include strip dancers and the like who are often “real” prostitutes too. Just because Bristol (apparently, I don’t have a TV) performed a suggestive dance on TV does not equate to her being a “sex worker” and I do not understand, donna, why you call the Palin family “skanky”, which I understand to mean “trollop” or “whore”.
Give it a little time, and everyone will embrace the latest Hollywood step “forward” in the new American culture as discussed in the article.
I’d guess that many on this thread, who are afraid to say so, already do.
