Feminism Nude women pose, showing off their wares, To thirsty gentlemen with debonair wolf stares Where money and pedigree stock distinguish Them a cut above the common people; and pricey hookers With plastic enhancements pasted in paint, solicit their company. And so these permissive women take the lead and allow, Others to teach their daughters provocative attitudes, In body use, that is pleasing to captive audiences, Who idolized them as talented and beautiful, And intellectually liberated, whatever your perspective; It is a dangerous degradation of feminism to justify, This mother and daughter relationship that can be infectious, With historical examples, in male-dominated cultures. Prostitution is not gainful employment nor a profession.
