This is an old thread, but so’s my bile at Fey. When “30 Rock” was being tooled, Fey’s longtime performance partner Rachel Dratch was considered for the Jenna role. Rachel had come up with Tina as half of her comedy team, and had earned a spot maybe more than Fey. The execs told Fey that Rachel wasn’t pretty enough, and Fey obediently kicked Rachel to the curb. The crumbs Rachel was thrown in the early episodes of first season hint how clever 30R could have been.
Even forcing Rachel into Fey’s woman-hating favorite character the Eastern European prostitute, was still a nuanced performance; a character with a backstory, thanks to Rachel.

Rachel is a class act, which is why you didn’t hear of this knifing at the time. Her characters have far more life than Fey’s hateful Harvard Lampoon humor. The female body-shaming Fey and Baldwin bandied with in 30R was straight out of the Catskills.
Fey’s vapid held-breath contortions in photographs look to me like she’s directing the hapless photographer to shoot her Studied Pose #105a. What does Amy Poehler see in Fey, other than a forced-bookend barnacle? (When) will the denouement be televised?

Sex workers live in the same society you do. They understand present-day “mentality.”
People shouldn’t need to sympathize with the views of those who are abusing/killing them.
Also, people are not “property,” public or otherwise.

Yes, us developmentally disabled “retards” sure are protected by the “PC machine” (it’s the Liberal PC Hive Mind Machine, not our own activists who are tired of being referred to as slurs and dare to speak about it), which is why ABA is a standard therapy assigned to autistic children even though there are multiple cases of it traumatizing us, and why we often can’t adopt kids, and why Murphy’s Bill legalizes our institutionalization without our consent.

How dare you throw us under the bus in your weird wall-of-text rant. I expect better from this site.

I call troll, too. Methinks the “wife” is a very chapped palm.

So you’re a “public swimming pool” if you’re FEMALE, I’m guessing, not male.

I never see the same kind of “eww ick” factor regarding stud muffin gigolos. Like the ones on that insipid TV show by the same name. Guys like Jon Mayer and Tiger Woods are walking petri dishes, but women can’t line up fast enough for their own crack at them.

HIV long ago transitioned to a disease spread more amongst black women than anyone else. Black working girls? No. Black girlfriends and wives. Of men who are on the “down low” on the side. See, unlike gay men, straight men who are lying about sleeping with other men are also dishonest with themselves about the need for safety. Kind of like how the women who get drunk and have one night stands and affairs are dishonest and sloppy about their behavior. Are we really going to pretend that no one cheats on their partners? That “monogamy” is really a thing nowhere but on paper? Really?

I have a friend who is a surgical tech who told me years ago about the 16 year old girl who had her leg AMPUTATED because her FIRST boyfriend, the FIRST man she’d ever slept with, gave her herpes. And while it’s a benign and common condition in the vast majority of people who have it (1 out of 5 women, including the “good girls”, have herpes, by the way), in this poor girl’s case it mutated in her system and required her entire leg be amputated. From her FIRST sexual encounter. So much for the “it takes a lot of people to make something ‘dirty'” theory. In the case of this girl and so many trusting black women, it took just ONE jerk to mess them up for life. Just ONE. In fact, now that I think about it, that’s how EVERY STD is spread. By the ONE person who gives it to you. It’s not a group effort.

And speaking of herpes, I love how NO ONE, literally NO ONE, gets routinely tested for it, despite it affecting 1 out of 5 people. It is not included on a basic STD screening panel. Yet 20% of people you see in bars and restaurants have herpes. Most people don’t even know that they have herpes, because the symptoms go unnoticed, so they knowingly go through life infecting one partner after the next. Meanwhile, is ANYONE saying “hey let’s discuss our STD status and get tested” when they date? No. People are just operating on the ASSUMPTION that whoever they date is “clean”. Probably because of the ASSUMPTION that that person isn’t a sex worker or guy on the down low, so therefore they’re squeaky “clean”. And you can see by the aggressive continued spread of STDs that that idiotic assumption isn’t, well, working out so well.

But by all means, place the blame of everything “dirty” at the feet of sex workers. Because sex is so “clean” everyplace else.

Eff, that’s a very rude and ignorant thing to say. And a horrible metaphor. Maybe you should do a Day in the Field to gain a better perspective. Until then, stop being so judgy.

(Idiotic comment contest – SARAH WINS FOREVER.)

you don’t hate me but you just compared my vagina to a public pool? really? get the fuck over yourself. my body is my property not public property. a sex worker, along with every other person on the planet has a right to say no. maybe the reason people don’t respect sex workers is because people think they are entitled to our sexual organs? maybe you should learn the definition of respect?

I don’t hate sex workers. I don’t know any personally (that I know of), but if I did I’d take their individual personalities into account as I do with everyone and decide whether or not they were cool. I don’t believe a person’s job should define them. Everyone has to pay bills…if a person enjoys his/her job as he/she is doing it then more power to him/her. If not, then that sucks and hopefully the person can find something they like someday.
