You say that like you think there is something wrong with Russian hookers! Why do you hate Russian hookers? What did they ever do to you?
Seriously - when an opponent comes at you with stuff like that, or calls you a "racist" or a "misogynist" or "ableist" or any of the other accusatory "-ists" that they try to use these days, you just own it and then turn it on them to make THEM the haters. I've used that successfully for years.
Let's take another example in the massively overused accusations of "racist". Rather than trying to defend against such accusations - getting defensive tends to make one appear as if they feel guilty - I just run with it. "Yeah? You think so? So what? What makes you think I care what you think of me? Where did I give you that impression?" that sort of thing. When they see they can't "guilt" you into compliance, it takes all of the wind right out of their sails. If they can't shame me, they have no control, and it gets on their nerves.
Misogynist? If you think I'm a misogynist, then why in the hell are you just standing here instead of getting your bitch ass in the kitchen to make me a sammich? You think those sammiches make themselves or something?
Honestly - if they don't think they can make you care what they think, they've got no ammo against you.
