" Most of the women providing favors for coin are simply supplementing wages too meager to live on. They have occupations, they have families. Many are married and would rather not work the streets ever again. If we paid the ladies better wages—or allowed married women to keep their wages rather than force them turn every groat over to a husband who squanders his coin—we’d have a lot less vice. Instead, we harangue the women about morality, while male greed and lustfulness are the real problems. "
