Re: Aside to my thread up there about Dog Whores and Dog Pimps

[(Anonymous)]

possibly because a madam tends to manage a house of prostitution, where the girls live and ply their trade, while a pimp tends to toss his girls out into the street to pick up johns no matter how terrible the weather is. Also (no idea how accurate it is) madams tend to have the rep of semi-protecting their girls from abusive johns, or at least of sort of trying to keep them in good health, while pimps tend to have the rep of being abusive jerks themselves who beat the girls up a lot. Also because a woman leading a brothel would tend to be a former (or still current) hooker herself who rose through the ranks, whereas a pimp is generally just a guy who employs the hookers and neither knows nor cares what the life of the "working girl" is actually like. Madam comes off as a hooker who showed incentive and got promoted, and manages the business with an insider's perspective. Pimp comes off as a guy who just exploits and uses the girls purely for his own gain.

+1 to all of this.

Also, whether or not this is usually true in reality, pimps tend to be depicted as doing things that keep their girls indebted to them in order to make it so they can't leave or assert any real control over who and what they do. Whereas Madams are generally not depicted as doing things to keep their girls indebted to them, and are usually very accepting when one of their girls makes a decision to leave.
