As a sexworkers myself, I’ll tell you sexwork is a lot like serving coffee naked from your own independent coffee cart, assuming you’ve chosen the profession. Some customers are better than others, but you’re in charge so you can refuse to serve anyone you want and roll your cart away at any time.

You should find another doctor or plan a vacation near a Planned Parenthood

I’m a sexworker also. You do know it’s all smoke and mirrors and none of us actually only wears Louboutin and Armani even at the high end. I know because I’m one and in a circle of them and we/they all have the same issues as at lower rates. It’s all an illusion.

America is actually the best, because we have the technology and a history of working together to avoid prosecution and keep high rates. All countries with regulation see lower rates due to an influx of workers, which undoes the most beautiful part of sexwork, redistribution of wealth from men to women. Suddenly…

You’re absolutely correct. Decriminalization allows for clients and workers to feel safety and therefore violence goes down and convictions of actual victims (vs. consenting adults) increases, without passing undue burdens onto the workers.

Message any guy you think you might like - cast a wide net and you’ll get lots of attention! It’s different from offline, dudes totally love a lady that reaches out first online.

100% true. Most abuse victims have no way out, that’s why they stay - the GOP has an abusive relationship with women, thank goddess voting records are private.

Ditto! It’s absolutely brainwashing. The brain damage happens if you don’t find Jezebel and get out when you can, otherwise all your life choices set you up for this sort of sad plea for consideration.

Here’s a question - is it just that women need to feel that they’ve received something from sex? Because as a sexworker let me tell you, money makes it very easy to walk away with NSA - and I believe men have been socialized to believe their sexual desirability is a form of currency.

Really? You really think she should be burned at the stake? So you are a fan of capital punishment?

Unfortunately your father, like mine, is most likely an exception not the rule. Luckily we’ve got our heads on straight *eyeroll*

If his wages are garnished, he won’t be able to pay his rent. He’d be homeless or starving, both of which are not intended consequences. The system is built as though child support payments are more important than the well being of the parent, when it should be balanced. This is called a catch 22, where the system is…

And more than likely a victim herself, victimizing others, as happens.

No no no. Fathers of daughters are proven to become more feminist as their daughters age. This is going to do the reverse most likely.

What you’re missing - wage garnishment applies to all jobs where you are an employee, thus he is forced to only work as a contractor.

Most are outgrown though, many more people present symptoms of borderline personality during teens and twenties but do grow out of them. The sad fact is that many personality disorders don’t get effective therapy so the issues remain unresolved. The disorder is not the person, claiming otherwise is archaic.

This times a million. Toxic people have personality disorders, many of which are grown out of in time. Of course sometimes they never do, but if you can look past the behavior and see the struggling person inside, compassion plus distance is much easier to live with.

This makes me wonder, for those of us who enjoy extreme bdsm play, if there should be a standard sort of contact that clearly delineates behaviors that are unacceptable and that certain items are unlawful, like there shouldn’t ever be a line saying the sub is unable to tellurian consent at any moment. It seems when…

Please don’t say people selling people. We prostitutes sell our time, not our bodies, much like athletes. You’re contributing to the rhetoric problem.

You’re forgetting that it’s the best wealth redistribution system we’ve got to equalize the genders
