- ajcp 6y agoPerhaps you're right. My sense was that an "equivocation" is creating a false equivalency between two things by hiding behind a word(s) ambiguousness or multiple meanings. In this case I'm saying they're trying to use _moral_ equivocation: creating a false sense of equivalency between two things (jobless and sex-work) by playing on the perceived moral ambiguity of sex-work.
