Say sex worker instead of prostitute, and also people absolutely do rate and review sex workers, it’s not exactly what you mean, but the review books and websites can trace their roots back to the late 1800s

I ask myself sometimes: if we use a new word for “something” what does change? …surely there are words that were intended as insults from beginning on. But some words just become insults again if we switch the naming because the concept behind it is an insult rooted in soceiety no?. for example: 1980 “your mother is a whore” ,dont say whore its insulting say prostitute… 2000 “your mother is a prostitute” dont say that… 2026 “yo mama is a sex worker” … no matter how often we name it, the concept is causing it to end up as insult.
maybe a bad example here but anyways
