we read stories of prostitutes all the time, where are the stories of the johns? where are the jail sentences , the publicity stating the men's name that are hiring prostitutes. Totally a one sided crime according to the actions of the courts. Without the men and their money there would be no prostitution. 
I don't think Ms O'Malley glamorized prostitution, she simply wrote about one lady's story, what it has cost her in terms of her life situation, which is far from glamorous.
