The idea that sex workers can't find husbands is so weird to me... I've run deep in sex worker circles for coming up on a decade and it's never been an issue. Most of the girls in the chats have long term boyfriends, a big chunk of them are married. 1/

I personally have never ever had an issue where sex work got in the way - my partners have supported (or participated with!) me entirely. The idea that they're hiding discomfort with sex work is *absurd*, given how many more touchy, difficult things they're honest with me about.

This is the difference. High earners have little incentive to marry a sex worker, their earnings win them opportunities with people more committed to them. Doesn't mean the only acceptable gender dynamic is male breadwinner + female housewife though.

"more committed to them" - the idea that sex workers are less committed to their partners is quite incorrect; you're interpreting sex work as a sign of lack of commitment, but in pro-sex-work fields this is compartmentalized and isn't an indication of less commitment.
