Perhaps then this is a demonstration of womens (in general) greater work ethic. Being prepared to do anything in order to maintain independence and not be a charity case.
I don't think being independent or the avoidance of charirty has anything to do with it.
In the extreme, we are talking about survival and genetics (in this case). Women will always be able to treat sex like a tradeable commodity, and in matters of survival, will resort to it if required. On the other hand, when Men are in extreme circumstances, we can steal, fight, murder and rape our way to survival.
It is because Stealing, Fighting, Murder and Rape are deemed as unacceptable by society that trips Men up, while prostitution falls under the radar. A concequence of this is that any Man who resorts to any of these activities is tarnished in the eyes of society, and will struggle to find alternative means of survival (e.g. get a job). It is a vicious cycle, which explains why there are more Men on the street than women (I wonder, if Prostitutes were included in your assessment, the figures would be so different).
Obviously, these comments are made in regard to the
extreme, where survival and genetics drive decision making. It does make sense though; a typical "alpha male" will be in a better position to steal and fight than a submissive male (and therefore survive) - and women who are more sexually appealing are likely to survive beyond those who are not. It is society that gets in the way of this tried and tested dynamic (consider the Red Deer rut, an excellent example of when fighting, stealing, and sexual appeal, are used as tools for survival).
As for these:
For all social problems, I blame -
Poverty
Lack of opportunity
Desperation
Greed
Jealousy
Drugs
Boredom
Loneliness
Low self esteem
Ignorance
Poor communication
Arrogance
Stupidity
You are missing out two critical components; the Express and the Mail, which exacerbate these issues far beyond what is rational.
