and he didn't approve of her choice. Maybe the fact that she consented to take her clothes of for money drove him to violence. Maybe he was mad that she enabled the Patriarchy via her choice of money-making opportunities. Maybe he read a thread on DU that said "prostitution is violence" and due to the opaque, confusing semantic nature of the OP's phrasing, he took it as an injunction to commit violence on the nearest person he could find who takes their clothes off for money.

This is, admittedly, speculation. Nevertheless the news story makes apparent that there was some connection between her job and the attacker's motivation. Hence, "relevant".
