    Pretty fucked up to think that sex workers should be subjected to a bunch of misogynists.

    There’s a disconnect with capitalism and culture. Getting laid isn’t going to fix that.

      Sex work should be subject to protections under the law, including the law, the courts and the healthcare system - rather than subject to persecution, ostracization and having to fend for themselves outside of the law. They’d rather want sex motels decked with panic buttons and security on guard.

      Think before you assume you’re actually concerned for someone’s well being, and if you think continued illegality will somehow eradicate sex work - let me remind you that it hasn’t worked thus far. Please reconsider your stance.

        Again, just because a bunch of assholes on lemmy think that sex workers should bear the burden of fixing the worlds’ incles; doesn’t mean I need to agree with that idea.

        If they want to take that task upon themselves; that’s their call. If they don’t want to take that task on, that’s also their call.

        You’re going on about the legality of sex work… different discussion.

        See… you’re pretty much aggressively agreeing with me and that’s fucking ridiculous, but also clown shit.

        In this thread a bunch of people are suggesting that sex workers would/ should take on clients that have a higher than average probability of hurting them… failing to acknowledge the fact that sex workers may or may not take on a particular client.

        The overall sentiment behind the comments like that is putting an obligation on to sex workers, “fuck this guy and save the world.”

        Sex workers can say, “no” to a potential client just as well as they can say “yes.”

        There’s also several places that already have legal sex workers; yet here we are with this problem.

          Maybe sex workers should also keep a gun in a drawer, or better yet hire a bodyguard

          A few dead abusive johns will go a long way to cleaning up the scene
