I think some of it depends on the spirit of how you perceive them.
Some people call a girl a "whore" and it is meant with complete disgust and contempt.
But then again, there are people who are in the industry and love the performers and can call them a "whore" and mean it in a "good" way and never have a girl take offense (I do it all the time...hell, I call my own wife a "fucking whore" lol)
I consider the girls in this industry (the real ones, not the drug addled amateur ones) to be some of the smartest most "together" people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting in my life (and I've met a lot of people from all walks of life when I toured clubs in my bands over the decades).
And yeah, I'll jokingly call them whores. And they call me "motherfucker" and "bastard", etc.
But we are all friends, fuck-buddies, and work together. To me, it's just camaraderie. They are my friends.
If any of the actual girls themselves ever were to tell me that it somehow "hurt their feelings" I would not joke about it with them again. But since all the girls I'm friends with in this business are funny and smart...that's never happened.
At the same time...I know a lot of guys who are sort of in this business who would NEVER call a girl a whore. But in private you find out those same guys really have no respect for the women and are just acting "nice" to the girl's faces.
