I think "socialite" is effeminate in the way "prostitute" is effeminate. You can certainly have a prostitute that is not female, but it just doesn't happen as often, and when people say the word "prostitute" people almost automatically think female unless specified otherwise.

Don't take this post the wrong way - it's just the closest example of similar connotation I could come up with. I'm not calling you a prostitute.
