How do you know that the women whose murders the Washington Post is reporting were sex workers or dealing with substance abuse?
Because if they weren’t, they would not be unfeelingly described as “washing up dead.”

Why can’t I watch this story? Won’t respond no matter how many times I try.
Janine, I would ask, as a radical feminist, that you NOT use the term sex worker. This term includes pimps, pornographers, and children sold into sex slavery (this was a UN request, believe it or not). Women who must sell themselves to survive and children sold into sex slavery are prostituted human beings, not sex workers.
