I understand that some of the criticism comes from conservatives but the sentiment seems to extend far beyond thst. Of course, I understand it when it’s forced or when someone only does it to survive against their will. But if people genuinely want to do it, why do people hate on them?

    Whats going on??? There’s obviously a difference between a cashier or warehouse worker being forced into their labour than a sex worker forced to sell intimate access to their body?? “Their own boss” what kind of liberalism is this??? This just flattens all the discourse around “sex work as work” into “wow they just perform a service like my mechanic it’s literally the same thing!” Fuck off with that bullshit.

              Nah, they’re right about this one and you’re wrong.

              the oppression required to maintain their treatlerite life.

              If you don’t feel the same way about fast food workers, convenience store clerks, and baristas, your problem isn’t with the exploitation, it’s with the sex.

                No it isn’t. It’s more like gig work if anything but often operates in legally gray/illegal areas with less if any chance to unionise. It’s harder work than retail, leaves you with less options in your social life, pays barely enough to get by, and is way way more intrusive to the laborer. it’s clearly not like other work. If there were no women left in the margins of society with no option, nothing to sell but access to their bodies then the porn industry as we know would die out. It’s such an idealistic view to think that a woman chooses to become a sex worker the same way she applies to be a barista or fast food worker.

                Also “her own boss” is how libs try to sell the gig economy that leaves the laborers destitute and desperate, be it uber eats or whatever else. Any john/client whatever should be treated with the same scorn as a landlord, a predator preying on less fortunate.

                  Yeah, I forgot about all the incredibly fulfilling fast food and coffee jobs that pay a living wage and are easy to get by on.

                  It clearly is like any other service work, unless you believe sex is a magical, special sphere of human activity. And if you do, then you’re thinking magically and not materialistically.

                    love having my reasons ascribed to me when I already laid them out, clearly I’m just a dullard while you have seen every possible argument one could make. Enjoy your sex treats I’m done wiht you all.
