Well, theft is more likely to get you jail time than rape, so from that angle, it’s a huge promotion.

But yes. Women are not for sale. My favorite quote from a world leader : “I guess the men of Iceland will just have to get used to the idea that women are not for sale."

Acquitted Texas man who shot prostitute after she refused sex was just ‘protecting himself from theft’: court

The inside of a woman should never be a workplace. Wow

Most men would be prostitutes if sex work were lucrative and valid.

Hahaha! I was just saying this to someone. That when I was younger, I didn't trust going into fields that I was actually interested in because they tend to be male dominated. In the case of the military or even long haul CDL driving, I didn't trust going off long distances with men I didn't know since most men view sex as currency(at least the only currency they value) and rape is just basically theft to them. Theft is a crime of oppurtunity and there's too many opportunities for it when they're you're outnumbered and isolated away from your male relatives (who protect you) around men who don't have regular access to women.

Years later when I heard about all the sexual harassment and assault that occurred in both of those industries I wasn't the least bit. Men aren't complicated the bar for what a good man is, is simply so low that even the worst men can easily fake it, until they're in a place where they don't have to.

Every job I’ve had included free sex work the form of harassment and worse. No matter how I’ve reacted, reporting it, not reporting it, someone else reporting it. It’s always ended up a hostile work environment. And the next question is usually, what did I do, say or wear to bring that on myself.

Baggy uniforms and no makeup, keeping my head down silently and focusing on my work, ignoring the harassment or addressing it.

Men do not believe it’s work for women to do it, they just say it like they claim to be feminists. Sex workers say that sex work is work. No one else. There’s misplaced contempt and disgust from free prostitutes for paid prostitutes. Marriage is often the lowest form of prostitution. Maximum free sex, unpaid labor for the minimum in return, with even more cruelty from the man who claims to love you.

Such a perfect analogy. You cannot simply put a price to which any man can use for in order to pleasure himself. If sex work was so empowering, then why do so many ex sex workers suffer from trauma, anxiety, and other mental disorders solely from sex work?

I think I get the opposition to what she's saying but hear me out. As a black woman I have this same problem with a lot of performers playing out racial stereotypes onscreen or committing crimes.

Because even if I have nothing to do with it, it still affects the way that I am perceived and how I move in the world. The racism/prejudice would still exist even if we were perfect noble angels but that shit doesn't help in that it forms this subconscious association in people's minds. Even in our own minds.

I do think sex work becoming normalized will make it less lucrative(that's already happening ask any person who did it before social media versus after) and the degradation and humiliation of women associated with it will be more normalized because certain imagery lowers your social status as a group. That's why men and white people don't allow or support certain images of them being perpetuated. It's weirdly enough their biggest issue with rural working class white people. Even though in my real lived life, I've found conservative rural whites to be more tolerable and no more racist than urban liberal democratic whites. White people do not like being viewed as poor(even though statistically many of them are) as it takes away their power in popular consciousness.

There's a way to get better value out of your relationships and time spent with the opposite sex and sex work isn't the way to do it.

As a former “sex worker” this is what I’ve heard numerous men actually tell prostituted women who were raped - that it wasn’t so much rape as it was theft since they were “going to do it anyway” and that they “just didn’t get paid”.....

Society views women’s bodies as objects to use or products to consume. Sex work and vile porn industry only push this narrative farther. My heart breaks for all the women and especially young girls who have or had to participate in any kind of sex work. Btw rape used to be considered theft back when women were owned by males as property. So if an unmarried woman got raped it was seen as a crime committed against her father and if a woman is married then it was crime against her husband, but never herself since women were straight up viewed as objects/ property.
