They might change their minds if they were raised by a mother with addiction issues and mental illness due to the trauma of "sex work". That stuff was flat out abuse, she had no other way of surviving. Easy to romanticise it if it's not something you're forced into.

Lol, they're the same. Let me just change this to:

Pic on the left:

-pretends to handpick customers (sorry, this isn't how it works. YOU are the product, they pick you. You don't call random men and tell them to pay you for sex).

-Pretends this is what their customers are like. I don't care about the one in a million or the liars, I care about whats actually happening. Most men who ask this of you actually end up backing out and want regular sex. Or they want that + sex. They have to have sex.

-Yeah, they "choose". Let me guess, they also are addicted to drugs or alcohol, have a history of trauma, or are mentally ill or have personality disorders.

-The percentage isn't tiny, it's basically non-existent. All my friends used to be sex workers, if this lifestyle was possible they would've done it.

Pic on the right:

-True, but also:

-you don't have to be in a third world country or be getting forced by a pimp for this to be a horrible lifestyle that you are coerced into. All the sex workers in America that I met were the same. It was be a prostitute or starve, don't act like our hookers are happy to do it and are rich. Most of them are still at or below the poverty line.

A lot of these privileged sex workers also are victims of sexual abuse. All of it is sad.

But it’s so eMpOwEriNg

The girl on the right obviously has an Instagram handle where she takes exotic vacations to the Maldives, takes photos with exotic vehicles, and flaunts her dozens of designer bags on Instagram just to let people know how sex work is “empowering” and using her looks and body for the benefit of men means she’s a #bossbitch.

eatchickpeas · 2020-09-07T19:38:43+00:00

they dont approve of either. men dont want women to earn money through sex and enjoy it. men also dont want women to think that they are worthy of having the right to work or exist without being treated like a sex toy, without being reminded that a woman/girl has it much worse somewhere else in the world and that she should be 'happy' shes not being treated like them. men have trained women to be ashamed of sex, we've been taught to be faithful and obedient to trashy men since the dawn of time. men will happily use women for sex if all they have to do is throw money at them, they just dont want us to benefit from it at all, this is why they throw this bullshit at us. either way we are losing, sex work is exploitative

thedollparts · 2020-09-07T22:32:19+00:00

If I even get a whiff that a guy I'm dating has used sex workers, I'm automatically done. I've come to accept 90% of guys in the military have done it at least once. I just wish I knew ways to figure out other men.

Summerisle7 · 2020-09-07T18:38:26+00:00

That girl on the right is obvs just a sex-negative SWERF who needs a man to explain to her what a great opportunity sex work is and has she ever considered starting an OnlyFans account

trumpslefttit · 2020-09-07T21:34:25+00:00

Has anyone seen the documentary Selling Sex from Louis Theroux? It showed that even prostitution in Britain is miserable. Usually redditors love him but they reacted negatively to that documentary (which is brilliant btw).

officernice89 · 2020-09-07T20:07:28+00:00

i’m not a supporter of sex work, period for women. and the right is sex trafficking.

redbirdflies · 2020-09-07T20:43:41+00:00

Those of you with eyes on this sub that are learning to level up but still stuck in the idea that you need to debase yourself to make a living, know this: You cannot be a radfem and support shit that demoralizes yourself and other women for the sake of pandering to the patriarchy. The patriarchy would love nothing more than to see women degrade themselves for their own benefit

Unless you are doing it to feed yourself and your family and have no other choice, get the fuck out now and do whatever it takes to minimize the inevitable damage that comes from this industry.

Summerisle7 · 2020-09-07T22:18:33+00:00

All johns should be jailed for life. That'll put a big dent in the demand.

Noemie_Mathilde · 2020-09-07T23:32:01+00:00

If you chose it, you don't get to be the voice of an 'industry' where the majority of 'workers' have no choice.

Allaboutb1 · 2020-09-08T09:28:11+00:00

The majority of women being prostituted started when they were under the age of 18 and did not have the ability to make the decision. Childhood sexual abuse is a strong risk factor for being prostituted. I could go on.

Privilege

rightascensi0n · 2020-09-07T20:36:27+00:00

“Sex work is work” gets pushed a lot by the pimps and johns that lobby for a sanitized image of prostitution so it’s easier for them to get access to women. They’re trying to legitimize abusing women.

When “sex work is work” is used to silence the abuse of women all over the world who want out of prostitution, but is music to the ears of human traffickers that sell girls into sexual slavery, I think we have an idea of who “sex work” benefits. 🤔

2020-09-07T23:22:38+00:00

100% pickmeisha shit to say choosing sex work is work. Get your coins girl but I don’t personally feel thats eMpOwErInG

ScallionOk958 · 2020-09-07T19:37:37+00:00

But why are we painting the woman on the left as empowered? She is also going through abuse as her job (if anyone trusts men who pay for sex then we’re gonna need a bigger boat). How much of this is really her choice? Are we going to pretend that if we lived in a society in which everyone was paid a comfortable living wage that women would still be putting themselves in danger? This is some ignoramous Girl Scout feminism to me.

cheesymacaroony · 2020-09-08T03:17:37+00:00

This is an article written by a “high class” escort. The whole thing reads as like an homage to self hate.

“Tips for escorts”

How to have sex on your period

https://www.mamamia.com.au/tips-for-escorts/amp/

The things she has to put her body through! And it’s all being written as if this is no big deal.

“Once you’ve scraped your pussy clean, insert the sponge like a tampon. Push it as far up as it can go without it getting lost.

Last-minute booking? Car sponge, chopped into a square. Even less time? Kitchen sponge, the one with the thick foam and the scourer on the other side. Chop the scourer off and cut a square of foam. Boil it if you have the time.”

Shoving a kitchen scouter in my vagina when I’m in my period so some scrote can fuck me as he wishes????

HELL NAW SIS

Something kinda similar happened in Canada. A sex worker who was making decent money as a dominatrix took the prostitution laws to the Supreme Court and won. Prostitution and even pimping are no longer illegal. I’m ok with decriminalizing prostitution but the problem is the MAJORITY of women who find themselves in this line of work didn’t exactly chose it. There’s a variety of reasons why and most are sad and have to do with either systemic racism or socio economic reasons. Rarely is it the sugar-daddy pretty woman type scenario. While I haven’t read the whole decision, I’ve read parts and it’s not a bad decision. If anyone is interested, it’s a 2015 SCC decision called Bedford.

Informal-Form--- · 2020-09-08T05:23:55+00:00

YES YES YES YES YES! It's not shaming sex workers to talk about the millions of women who are forced into it!

plummyjellyfish · 2020-09-08T10:42:26+00:00

Oh, ffs, I'm so sick of hearing this goddamn tripe from so-called sex positive feminists. The handful of women who feel empowered by prostituting themselves for designer handbag money don't get to speak for the millions (!!!) of women, children, and, yes, men, who endure lives of misery, degradation and torture in sexual slavery.

AveryTheOctopus · 2020-09-08T02:53:26+00:00

So many young women in my college organization who I had to pull from the brink. From stripping to OnlyFans to sugar babies, it’s basically encouraged in alternative circles. But they don’t realize how vulnerable of a position they put themselves in until the horror is unfolding. Sex work is not easy work, and I’m especially scared for all the 18 yr old girls who jump into it thinking they’re going to be empowered without realizing these men will scam and abuse you the second they get the chance. And then those men who go to strip clubs and watch porn turn around and degrade the women who serviced them. It’s not empowering

oasisreverie · 2020-09-12T19:41:33+00:00

Yes, and libfems never talk about how sex workers have a higher rate of suicide attempts, mental illnesses, and drug addictions, as well as overdoses.

They usually gloss over those statistics, but then appropriate and bastardize tantric meditation as a sexual ritual, when it really isn't about sex at all.

Soooo are we not sex worker friendly here?? Because I’m a sex worker. These are not the same thing. The comparison is terrible.
