I am actually suprise that you understood him enough to see the generalisation. I have no idea what he was talking about.....
Something "off topic" (and my apologies):
I do agree with him that Geisha are NOT prostitute. "Gei" just mean "talent", in this case, mostly "artistic" talents.
That whole prostitute thing was something that was caused by the entry of foreigner after the war. What initiated this mentality was the fact that a lot of american troops ended up in Japan THOUGHT that these girls in the geisha outfit (and make up) looks "special" enough that they want to "try" them, as a result, a lot of prostitute decide that it was a good idea to dress like a geish and portray as one to attract customer.
That mentality is no different from how the Japanese sex and porn industry use cosplay to attract client. Its only because there is a demand for it (pervs want service from specific cartoon or game character etc).... Geisha was the same thing.....
I have no idea what he was talking about with Maiko and Oiran....
