Please don't slut-shame!
How is this slut shaming? Its a humorous saying. No religion is very accepting of overtly promiscuous people. Try not to overthink everything
It's a humorous saying at whose cost? Why would you even make a humorous saying about sex workers? And why would a sex worker be sweating in a church? The underlying assumption certainly has to do with their own conscience and religion.
Your "try not to overthink everything" is just a normative reprimand to not challenge the sexist status quo.
It is at nobodys cost, there are no actual people involved here. And why a hypothetical sex worker would be sweating in church is also quote obvious unless you are intentionally obtuse:
If they go to church, they are religious. If they are religious then their occupation is heavily at odds with their faith, so naturally they would be sweating bullets in a church, provided they believe in that mumbo jumbo, because their all seeing god (and possibly the congregation) are silently judging them for it.
Also the status quo doesn't need to be "challenged", sex work is legal and normal where I live.
First of all, there is a huge stigma against sex workers and they face a lot of discrimination and violence. I'm pretty sure this also applies to where you live (wahrscheinlich im DACH-Raum irgendwo?). Also: "whore" = vulgar/derogatory . There is no need for any real person to be involved here. This is just perpetuating societal stigma.
I don't believe there is a society that is free from stigma and discrimination against sex workers. But maybe you can prove me wrong?
I also disagree with this sentiment because why would sex work be at odds with religion? Maybe with religious institutions like the church but not with their faith itself.
