But, it goes to show how women are perceived in our society -- we can always spread our legs for money, right?

Good for you for not suffering the fools.

I was born poor, and except for a couple of brief periods have lived poor. I'll most likely die poor. Sucks, but such is life.

I made some poor choices -- the worst one being not getting a better education -- and I've paid for them. I've tried not to let my children suffer because of my life, but there's only so much you can do. They have to make their own choices eventually, you can only hope they do better.
