That’s absolutely terrible

@Ferric67 It is. And it shouldn't be that way, but because men are the largest customer base and the most violent, a sex worker has to worry about not just being raped and robbed, but killed. Even by regular clients.

@FoxyGoddess What you're missing here is that many, if not most, men don't use sex workers. Let's stick with "many", as to not provide any possible bias on my side.
Then that sets off the math here. If many men are not using sex workers, how could it be all men?
I do understand that if you're involved in sex work, there is going to be bias on your side to possible think all men use sex workers. I respect that, understand that, and have compassion about that. You may not be able to see any other possibilities and my point may be dismissed because of this.
However, if you can see through that.. yes, how can it be all men when not all men use sex workers?
There also were probably better scenarios you may have used to prove your bias (the word bias used here, factually - not in a derogatory manner).. but once you only focused on sex workers, you eliminated the presence of some men.
Also, another note:
Please understand I am in no way, shape, or form agreeing with the harm of any woman or women who are participating in sex work. It's wrong and should not be happening AT ALL.

@Magicianzini Thanks for this! For transparency, i was listening to a podcast episode about the Grocery Bag killer and, of course, like many before and after him, his target was primarily sex workers. And it got me to thinking why is it that sex workers have to deal with fear of death more than most other jobs?
So no, I didn't look too deep into it, but it did make me wonder why men feel more entitled and violent towards sex workers that they have no problem kiling and that this type of violence is purely done by men simply because they don't view women as people. Which is where I built my premise. Only men kill sex workers, but men also don't seem to be too concerned with stopping it because sex workers are throw away people in their eyes.
