I think your perspective is to some extent worth consideration. A girl 'just walking down the street' and being raped is of course a pitiful event and our perspective should be 'empathetic' in this context rather than being 'sympathetic' towards her. As I believe, only sympathy may not be helpful for a rape victim, but if we can put ourselves in her place and could be able to feel how much it hurts, it may somehow aid the situation and the individual to achieve a positive direction. On the other hand, a prostitute is not a hated individual. In general, statistics say that in most of the cases, a female is compelled to select this profession. They do not come into this 'willingly'. Either they are sold into the area of prostitution when they are children or adolescents, or they may come from poor family backgrounds. So their entry in their professional regime is also not very desirable to them. Hence, if some customer of a prostitute does not pay and the prostitute asks for her payment by accusing him, it should also be considered from both ethical and legal perspectives.
Is It Right To Differentiate Between Rape Victims: A Prostitute Who Screams Rape When Her Client Refuses To Pay And A Girl Just Walking Down The Street? I Would Find Myself More Sympathetic For The Latter. Am I Wrong To Say This?
A lot of people think like you do.
I think that if a rape did happen, it's a really bad situation for anybody; it doesn't matter who you are and what you do for living.
But if someone cries rape(no matter who you are)and it's not true, that person should be held accountable for all the damage she's done because she can destroy the life of somebody for nothing.
If somebody is using the prostitute, they shouldn't treat her like a nobody because if they're going to her for whatever, they're not better than her. They should treat her right like they would like to be treated themselves.

Prostitution is evil and absolutely filthy.I have just been reading the Bible and at the end of time all prostitutes are going to be flung into a pit of sulphur.(Revelations 17)
This is exactly what they, and men who use them, deserve.Its very difficult to say who is worse- a prostitute or a man who wants to use them.I wouldn't feel any pity for prostitutes, they are all wicked, and she doesn't deserve to be paid.The man who didn't pay her is also very wicked of course, but since the woman doesn't deserve it, I would not feel sorry for her at all.I would on the other hand feel very sorry for a poor innocent girl who was assaulted.people who assault others should be locked in a dirty jail cell for the rest of their lives.

I don't think this is a case of how a woman dresses or how a man interprets this. A woman has a right to wear what she wants and be free from the fear of attack.
Young women do dress in ways that might make their parents cringe but no matter how they dress no man has the right to think that this is a signal for sex. Most young men are used to seeing girls dressed like this and know that it's a fashion thing rather than anything else.
As for prostitution being evil, surely that's a matter of debate. Some women and men are forced into it by their circumstances and by others. In an ideal world it wouldn't happen. I don't think it's up to those of us who are more privileged to condemn those who aren't. I don't believe that Jesus would have condemned them; he would have had compassion.
Better to work towards making society a place where people don't need to prostitute themselves than to condemn things we have no experience of perhaps?

Either way you really should have paid that girl.
Rape is dreadful for anyone. If a prostitute is raped then that's equally as dreadful as for any other woman.
I think that you are differentiating between a woman who is attacked and raped and a woman who 'cries rape' when in fact she hasn't been raped and this is a false accusation. In this case surely the man who is wrongfully accused is a victim?
This isn't really a case of two different 'sorts of women' who are raped its two entirely different circumstances.
No woman whatever she is deserves to be raped.
No man who is innocent deserves to be accused.
If a prostitute is indeed raped then she deserves help and sympathy and protection under the law as does any woman in the same circumstances. The law and society shouldn't have different categories of women where rape is concerned.
The prostitute you use as an example hasn't in theory been raped as she agreed to sex. She has been done out of her payment and should have some way of making a client pay but in theory she hasn't been raped. You could say that she's been done out of money for a job she did but I'm not sure crying rape is the solution to this.
A difficult one to answer but I think the girl in the street is a different case altogether although the prostitute may feel she has been raped under the circumstances.

But would you not agree that when adverts showing women getting turned on with men wearing certain fragrances or clothing and vice versa, that the message is already given.If you want to get lucky wear brand x etcetera. to most teenagers they are more receptive to tv than to their elders.
