Reply #12: What does it say... [View All]

about our society that the answer for desperate women is to sell their bodies? *sigh* That makes me sadder than I have words for.

Don't get me wrong. I'm a very sex-positive person. I have a side job editing gay erotica. But I'm all about consensual sex. And prostitution ain't that...neither is more porn than some people (on this site even) are willing to admit.

In a perfect world, where women hadn't been oppressed for millenia, I would be all in favor of voluntary sex work. But as long as we're still living in a society that treats women like pieces of meat and pays us less for doing the same work men do and basically considers us inferior...then sex work may only serve to help perpetuate a lot of the negative stereotypes men have about women.
