'Feminists can't tell us what to do with our bodies': Sex workers learn the hard way that misandry hurts women

Former Labour councillor and writer Susan Dalgety believes the council's decision is right for women.

"As a feminist, I think that men paying us for sexual favours is the worst kind of exploitation of our bodies," she said.

Funny use of collective pronouns there, Susan. It's the strippers who are being paid to strip, not you.

Banning those sexual entertainment places will definitely backfire. I don't know if sex work generally should be fully legalised but there should definitely be more to help those who need it. Saying that though, not everyone has awful experiences in sex work. After all: what you do with your own body is your choice.

Nothing new here. Feminism has been at war with itself over sex work forever.

Funny, I always thought feminism was about telling women they could do everything. Except when, you know, they can't "because we say so". It's not empowerment, I don't know what it is, but I don't like it.

My opinion: sex work is work and I agree with the "Legalize and tax" pov.
