Did you read the paper? They took their interviews primarily from women on the streets, and several of the sources were explicitly from refuge sources; e.g., hospitals and drug rehabs.
Also wouldn't most women in low-end jobs want out but can't leave?

sorry im coughing you think that escorts are a) a minority, b) disproportionately white, and c) disproportionately middle class?
but *even still*, wanting to stop prostituting usually means there's no better option available; take it away from them and it's a downgrade.

I think you're coming from a different basis here. I'm a prostitute (who got into sex work because I was really poor) and I am *really angry* at the thought that someone wants to take away the right over my body to do what I see fit.

and I would fight very hard for a society where I am allowed to sell my body to a man. It's really infuriating that you want to take my choice away from me.

It's actually infuriating that you want to maintain this obviously abusive and unnecessary industry because you get something out of playing around in it. Public policy has loftier goals than just maintaining your right to have fun while women are exploited worldwide.

Yeah other people telling me the sex work I got into because I had few other options is "playing around" is where I'm out. It's not fun, it's work. I don't do it for fucking fun.
Sex work saved me from a worse life. Maybe you're too privileged to understand that.

You know, I don't know about you, but my feminist view of the future is that women shouldn't be having sex unless it's for fun. What a dismal view you have of the world if you defend this industry that you admit preys on vulnerable people.

I'm fine with your feminist view of the future, as long as you allow me to do what i want with my own body. Maybe you think I should only be having sex for fun, but I'm ok having it for reasons other than fun, and I am infuriated at the idea you might use force to stop me.
