if we heavily stigmatized plumbing - imprisoned and culturally shamed plumbers, excluded them from banking and housing, I betcha we'd see much higher mortality rates among people who choose to become plumbers. But still i'm not sure the answer here would be "don't hire plumbers"

❤️ I take you seriously ❤️

So then what is the alternative? Sex, based on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, is one of the bottom ones. If you want to get rid of porn, EVERYONE needs to be able to have access to sex since it's a basic need. She should pick which one of those battles to fight.

We often hear "Sex work is work", but we rightly heavily stigmatise other forms of work, like child labour, sweatshops, and slavery because they are unethical work practices that exploit people who are often vulnerable, living in poverty or forced against their will. Thoughts?

this is what I mean by stigma; our expectations from sex are culturally set, and what you're doing is reinforcing a cultural norm here. also, I was an escort and no it did not fuck me up
