If for an example I advocate for gender equality and in a rainy day I decide to go to a prostitute people will dismiss all my claims because we all know that if you are a hyprocite than all your statements must by false.
But the response I like the most "If he couldn't do it why should I?", because if for some reason(psychopathy for example) I can't stop killing people why shouldn't everyone kill people.
I wouldnt see paying money for sex as being hypocritical for a person who advocates gender equality.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
