How come it seems like some women become strippers and whores because thry were raped when they were younger??

Question

I'm asking because when I saw Scream 3, Sidney's mom became a slut after she was raped as a teenager. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Here is a better place to learn about the effects of sexual abuse or rape on children, I assume thats what you mean by "when they were younger". Scream 3 isn't the best place to use for your reference, educate yourself from different rescources now you are showing an interest. I've included a small exerpt from the page I'm linking you to.

http://www.darkness2light.org/KnowAbout/statistics_2.asp

"Children who have been victims of sexual abuse exhibit long-term and more frequent behavioral problems, particularly inappropriate sexual behaviors.

Women who report childhood rape are 3 times more likely to become pregnant before age 18.

An estimated 60% of teen first pregnancies are preceded by experiences of molestation, rape, or attempted rape. The average age of their offenders is 27 years.

Victims of child sexual abuse are more likely to be sexually promiscuous.

More than 75% of teenage prostitutes have been sexually abused. "

Answer 2

Well, let's not go by examples, let's go by numbers.
Statistically, I think this actually does tend to happen.
To get a good answer, you've got to do your homework...
But just think about it.
Is it beautiful, special anymore? Is there any reason to hold back? And as animals, aren't we supposed to have sex between every cycle? Other animals do!
Besides which, a woman may need to feel that she gets control of where and when. The only way to prove she has control is actually DO it. You're not controlling anything if you avoid it all together!
But seriously, research this.

Answer 3

Internalized oppression. If the woman's self-esteem is taken from her at an early age she grows up feeling she has no value. She turns to stripping to have control over men, It becomes a kind of pay back, but in the end, it only hurts her worse.

Answer 4

Some women devalue themselves and their bodies after a trauma like rape and think that selling their bodies is a way of getting back at men.

It is a tragedy that any woman would allow that to happen.

Answer 5

Sex trade workers come from all walks of life. Many strippers are strippers because they love their bodies and enjoy the reactions they get when they perform. They're exhibitionists.

Skidrow hookers sell their bodies to support their drug/alcohol habits. They were most likely abused as children. They drown their hurts in drugs, alcohol, bad relationships, etc. to bury their pains.

Internalized pain: take drugs; become alcoholics; sell their bodies, become promiscious; continually enter in to bad relationships; cutters; suicidal; self-victimized...

Externalized pain: sell drugs; become abusers; pimps; intimidate others; etc....

There are those who "control their sexualities" and there are those who lose control of it thus are controlled by it.

Answer 6

You give only one example. Before you generalize, shouldn't you have more examples of women who become strippers who were raped when younger?

Answer 7

Not all women employed in the adult entertainment business are rape survivors. There are women who are rape survivors in all walks of life. And there are sex workers who were never sexually abused.

Answer 8

You'd be surprised how many women were raped or molested. It's a co-incidence.

Answer 9

...tell me you didn't just say that you took something from a MOVIE and applied it to REAL LIFE? I mean, come on... *sigh* in response to your question, I don't know, where in the world you would think that were true. Because it's just, not.

Answer 10

This may be true, but you need a much better source than, " Scream III ", to reference.
