Mal's view is that Inara is a slave, whether she cares to admit it or not. That's what we learn from 'Shindig'. Despite the fancy dresses and elaborate parties, Mal sees Inara's profession as little more than sex slavery, and he's agin it.

Inara tries to explain to him that it's her choice, which plays into the whole 'it's my body and I'll do with it as I please ' meme.

Atherton lays hands on Inara, grabbing her by the wrist, and claims her as his 'property', insomuch as he's paid for her services for the night, weekend, what ever.

And as for companion training, even if they aren't physically active until later , they still start in on the basic concepts of pleasing the client when the candidates are very young. ( We're talking fiction here , remember ) So while there is the 'finishing school ' aspect of being a companion, and not all engagements result in physical interaction, there's the obvious and understood part of the job. You take on a client who has certain wants, you're to see to that client and make them happy. And one doesn't become skilled in such activity by reading it from some book.

Just sayin'.

It IS her body and she CAN do what she wants, despite what Mal thinks, and there are many countries where prostitution is legal because FREEDOM there is more important than the lip service we give it in this country...

Also, I don't think Joss was entirely clear about the training house aspect, either way you think about it because he didn't have time to be.
I'd love to see another comic that deals with this issue, myself.

And yet another article about how girls get screwed over by menfolk, in TODAY'S society, and they don't even have to be prostitutes.

Probably as many times as it takes for people to stop asking, "Why do you create so many strong female characters?"

He has a disconnect between men and women. He is disconnected from men. It's why most of what he does is not appealing to me. It's why most of what he does in the future I will not watch. Firefly and the Avengers is about it for me when it comes to Joss. The guys obsessed with women characters. I really think it's at the level of being a fetish. I think for him it's like dressing up dolls.

At one of the con's when Scarlett Johansson was asked what it was like working for Joss on avengers, all the guys on the panel immediately looked down with smiles on there faces. Something was said about just how involved Joss got in her appearance, her on screen look. It was quite a telling moment.

The Disney that fired strong, independent woman Gina Carano is also the same Disney that is bleaching Firefly and removing any mention of Inara being a prostitute.

Let that one simmer for a while.
