Yeah, that’s the weird thing about it all. Like, Hooters appealed to a shitty kind of person, but at least it appealed to someone. This is taking their only selling point away and replacing it with nothing.

No, no, no, it’s called PECKERS, and the logo is a woodpecker with a phallic-looking beak, and all the male servers wear banana hammocks and NOTHING ELSE.

My real comment is that exploitation is used as a counter argument to sex work but there are plenty of non-sex workers being exploited at work and there is less clamoring to make sure they are protected.  My hypothesis is that people don’t care about exploitation, they are just looking for a reason to outlaw sex work.

It is beyond me how a society could legalize surrogacy when sex work is illegal.

On that same note, if we care about sex workers being exploited, then why don’t we make sure Amazon employees aren’t being exploited? I think it’s because we don’t actually care about exploitation, we’re just pearl-clutchy about sex.  (we= the general public)
