Prove her wrong

I have never been on the dole, but I dont have any childish dreams about cars or mansions making my life any better

manual work I mean

Prostitution is trade. Exchange of money/resources for sex.

Workers don't buy this stuff either, it's members of the upper class that do. You know, people that get their money from investments instead of wages

Lol no because most people back then lived in villages and you’d be damned to find a prostitute even in modern day villages. So in fact back then even at the height of the Roman Empire when many people lived in cities was prostitution less than it is today.

It's not that bad

Yes, prostitution is no different than any kind of menial work
