Resident ex-hooker here, if anyone has any questions.

Rough article.

That's because men working as prostitutes is a "male power fantasy", not a victimization. Once you accept that only women are victims, you'll understand the world better.

I haven't heard of it.

Most will say "They like it." or "It doesn't exist because nobody would pay for it"

And that's incredibly sad.

Or men of any age. I get that men are less likely to become sex workers, but would it hurt anyone to make these programs gender neutral? Women are less likely to suffer from workplace fatality, but union rules aren't restricted to protecting men.

That's powerful. It does remind me too much that stories like this get overlooked, too often. And that's agonizing to know.

Be better to legalise prostitution so forced prostitution could be driven out and/or prosecuted more readily.

But according to feminism, only women are victims !

Men buy sex from women ! Nothing else happens ! /s

Reading that was agonizing. I, unfortunately, can relate to too much of what was detailed by that narrative.
This should not be turned into a pissing match about what feminists say. The injustices addressed by the writer are much too important to be diminished by being grouped with other, lesser unfairness.
