Most people will respond with "immorality" or likewise.
What it amounts to is badly interpreted bible verses by the 3 Abrahamic religions as a means of social control over the taboo of sex.
As someone who follows the old religions, I see this everywhere. The men are expected to be open to sex, but women who do are seen as whores. But, that's where the taboo of sexwork comes from.
And to link it back to the article, Calvinism ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvinism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvinism ) is the primary and dominant reason why prisons are as brutish as they are. The basic gist of this form of Protestant Christianity is that 'you are predestined to be a horrible person and predestined to be in prison, so we have the right to treat you inhumanely as possible because you deserve it'. Capitalist monopoly forces also have a bearing here in the price gouging, but the basic infrastructure of a prison is brutish because "you deserve it", in a Calvinist sense.
