A couple of weeks ago I was on my way to lunch with my former project manager, celebrating one year of liberation from social science and passing of the state boards. A now-doctoral-degree-holding colleague stopped by to say hello and commented that it was fun to keep up on facebook where we had recently become virtual friends. "But your profile picture... you're wearing and overcoat and standing on the street corner. You look a little like...""A prostitute?" I interjected.
She quickly corrected me, noting that the appropriate term is "sex worker".
The bias-free insult: how anthro-politcal!
