"The whores insist..."

I found this on Facebook and decided to try translating it. The "joke" behind it is that "son of a bitch," in Spanish, translates as "son of a whore" or "hijo de puta."

Whores insist: bankers and politicians are not our sons!

1. Being a prostitute is not equal to being corrupt

2. You go to demonstrations with a mouthful of "whore!" for the politicians and bankers, but does this not reproduce machismo, and its violence, and its pious moralizing against women?

3. Do you realize what it means, for us and for you, when you insult or mock politicians and bankers with words and images that compare them to women?

Thoughtfully,
