Many times bullies are well protected and are practically untouchable. For example they could be from minority, and any sort of complain makes anyone automatically racist.
To win over administration one has to become victim himself. For example it is generally acceptable to bully nerds. So one has to be diagnosed with mild autism or social anxiety, before he can even hope for any sympathy. So now the bullies are consuming even free time outside work/school and destroy remaining self a steam.
And winning price is usually low, and does not even cover expenses and lost time. Bully may get short holiday, but usually returns to same position.
I have no credible source I could post here. However the work is for _SUPPORT_ personnel, not actual prostitutes.
Not sure what is situation in US. But in contimental Europe one pays a lot of money on social tax (about 10% of salary). And government will jump through hoops to pay as little as possible.
On other side many people lost unemployment support, because they refused to work in brothel as cleaners or maintenance personnel.
Any discrimination based on sexual preferences, sex, race, age and so on is strictly forbidden. One could sue for an ad which says they want 'younger' workers. Gay discrimination would be national scandal. There is also handful of agencies which are very keen to enforce Work Law.
There is violence against LGBT, but most cases are severely punished by state. What is 'war on drugs' in US, is 'war on neonazis' in Czech Republic.
I would suggest other subjects for discussion. For example the gay rape in US prison is widely accepted, comedians even joke about it on TV.
Today patient has to pay lot of money to be kept alive. Also deciding about death is expensive and this burden would be on government.
In a few decades elderly people will be 40% of population. Government will probably have to pay bills for most of them. Only then will this become norm, but in really hideous way.
Often one is a-hole because he insist on basic principles, such as unit tests.
Until network will be more reliable and faster than my hdd, there is not much to discus.
Since when? For start it drains battery much faster. Oh and you know, it does not work offline!

Author could send a donation to some open-source project. Instead he makes me (as OS developer) feel like a shit, because I stole some theoretical chance to someone else. This goes beyond occasional troll, and if this becomes a norm, I will seriously consider to make my projects private.
But it was always ok to bully nerds, physically or other way.
