Sorry your family is so messed up.

Bankers make a safe place for people’s valuables, and provide loans, so business that hire prostitutes, can thrive.

His sister shouldn’t feel shame that she is a banker and instead decided to lie to mom and tell her that she is in a far better profession, a prostitute.

My family is far from perfect. I am far from perfect. It is a fact. Nothing to hide. I state my beliefs and ideas as I see them in this group. There’s a diversity of opinions on this forum. There is no party line to tow, no diversity lawyers enforcing mandatory compliance in the daily grind. And always a healthy exchange of ideas here.

Prostitution used to be a state institution in the Khmer Empire. In some cultures prostitutes were highly educated and trained to play music instruments, etc. as well. In short, to be the everything that their wives (or husbands) weren’t. That’s far better than the mess now. They were licensed, regulated, respected, and backed by the state.

I believe that what consenting women (or men) choose to do is up to them. The problem is that a lot (not so much in Cambodia), are kidnapped, drugged, and forced.

Or the proverbial meth whore plying Wat Phnom at midnight.
