This paper attempts to dissolve the issue of prostitution, which is still framed as a radical feminist issue pertaining to gender inequality and the vulnerability women face in such a career; rather, the idea post feminists (pro-prostitution feminists) hold believe prostitution, and more specifically, high class (call girl) prostitution is an empowering, positive and liberating occupation that women should be freely allowed to enter without stigmatization. We look at numerous women who have provided positive accounts of their lives as high end prostitutes, even when beholding university educations and Ph.Ds. After extensive secondary data collection to support these women’s experiences, we find high end prostitution can in fact empower, build confidence in, and gratify women.
