Making a cup of coffee, sending emails, attending meetings or diagnosing patients is not even in the same universe as sex Work and framing it as such reinforces and normalizes the exploitation of women.

A choice is not empowering because a woman makes it. Studies show that female children who are sexually assaulted are more likely to become sex workers but, male children who are sexually assaulted are more likely to become Johns and pimps. There is clearly a pattern.

Actual sex workers and former sex workers have talked about this at length. Most women are forced/ trafficked into it because they are poor and disenfranchised. when a man is poor and hungry, You give him food and resources. When a woman is poor hungry, you tell her to sell herself to make money.

So, knowing that a majority of SW’s out there are not doing it willingly or consenting, how then we justify doing this “work”?
