Which pays well but is humiliating. And even after asking my friends if they felt the job paid well they said that ultimately it was simply "denigrating," regardless of the pay.

And the worst part is the kind of interaction after the "party" with men just screaming at women as if they're property (the police ignore it.) It boggles the mind.

How do we live in a society where women are treated so poorly?
